  • Title: [A case of vesicourethral foreign body for catheterization by scallion: historical discussion about urethral catheter].
    Author: Yoshinaga A, Yoshida S, Nakagomi K, Goto S.
    Journal: Nihon Hinyokika Gakkai Zasshi; 2007 Jul; 98(5):710-2. PubMed ID: 17682450.
    Abstract:
    A 62 year old man with a spinal injury was referred to our hospital for removal of an impacted scallion that he had inserted into his urethra as a form of self-catheterization. We first attempted unsuccessfully to remove the scallion using a Kocher clamp. We then performed transurethral removal of the foreign body, that turned out to be a scallion 30 cm in length. In this paper, we present a case report of self-catheterization using scallions, as well as a history of the urethral catheter.
