    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To describe an uncommon case of iatrogenic bladder lithiasis in a female patient who underwent colposuspension according to the Burch technique. METHODS/RESULTS: A female patient who had undergone colposuspension for urinary stress incontinence presented with irritative bladder symptoms and dyspareunia two years later. Patient evaluation revealed stone formation on the nonresorbable suture. Stone removal was achieved endoscopically using local anesthesia and without compromising continence. CONCLUSION: Removal of the calculus that had formed on the suture was achieved by endoscopy without compromising continence.
