  • Title: Urethrocutaneous fistula due to a retained ring of condom.
    Author: Tash JA, Eid JF.
    Journal: Urology; 2000 Sep 01; 56(3):508. PubMed ID: 10962618.
    Abstract:
    Hidden foreign bodies have been described as a rare cause of both strangulation of the glans penis and urethrocutaneous fistula. We present the case of a 30-year-old man who developed a urethrocutaneous fistula and penile shaft necrosis after a condom broke during intercourse. Neither the patient nor several physicians could identify the retained ring of condom, which had been buried under newly epithelialized skin. He underwent removal of the foreign body under general anesthesia, followed 5 months later by a formal urethrocutaneous fistula repair.
