  • Title: Case report: urinary retention secondary to a foreign body in the male urethra.
    Author: Brison D, Lamba S, Jafary A, Bhalla R, Baker SR.
    Journal: Emerg Radiol; 2006 Dec; 13(3):143-5. PubMed ID: 17039341.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a male patient who presented to the Emergency Department with urinary retention secondary to a suspected foreign object in his urethra. We review the diagnosis and management of self-inserted urethral foreign objects in men. Emergent treatment is necessary in patients with urethral foreign objects. Prompt radiologic studies should be obtained because immediate bladder access and drainage is mandatory, especially in patients presenting with urosepsis or urinary retention. Endoscopic removal is the management of choice.
