A Case Report on Urethral Insertion of a USB Cable: Diagnosis and Management

Self-insertion of foreign objects into the urethra for autoerotic or other motivations is uncommon yet potentially serious. We present a case of a urethral foreign body involving a thick USB cable, which was successfully removed using a semi-rigid ureteroscope after initial attempts with manual extraction and a rigid cystoscope were unsuccessful. This study highlights the importance of undertaking a tailored approach in the removal of more complex urethral foreign bodies and suggests a potential novel adaptation to an established procedural technique.
