  • Title: Foreign body stone of the ureter originated from the suture thread: a case report.
    Author: Dursun M, Danis E, Otunctemur A, Ozbek E.
    Journal: Prague Med Rep; 2014; 115(3-4):141-4. PubMed ID: 25626333.
    Abstract:
    Foreign bodies placed into the ureter are uncommon. Unintentionally placed nonabsorbable sutures may cause obstruction and stone formation. If not recognized, the patient may become symptomatic. We present a diagnosis of a rare case from Turkey, in which a ureter stone was formed by a nonabsorbable suture in a male patient with a previous laparotomy.
