Abstract:
Chronic irritation of bladder by urinary bladder calculus is a known risk factor for bladder cancer. The use of Wrigley's obstetrical forceps in general surgical practice is a rare event. Herein, we report a case of a giant urinary bladder calculus which was removed by Wrigley's obstetrical forceps during open cystolithotomy. The bladder biopsy showed squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder. With this report, we aim to create an awareness among surgeons about the role of the Wrigley's obstetrical forceps during open cystolithotomy, and the role of taking urinary bladder biopsy from chronically inflamed/unhealthy sites.
