Abstract:
We report on a new endoscopic approach to the removal of a migrated urethral stent following hypospadias repair. A flexible balloon-tipped guide wire allows the effective cystoscopic retrieval of a urethral stent, suggesting potential applications to the removal of other foreign bodies in the urinary tract.
