Self-Inflicted Male Bladder Foreign Body: Its Endoscopic Removal Using a Rigid Cystoscope and a Suprapubic Forceps

Abstract: Introduction. Herein we present an interesting technique for the removal of bladder foreign body (BFB) in which a combination of endoscopic and suprapubic cystostomy was used. Case Presentation. The patient was a case of illicit drug abuser who self-introduced an electrical wire into his bladder.
