Title: [Removal of a Foreign Body in the Urinary Bladder in a Patient Four Times in the Past Thirty Years]. Author: Kuribayashi S, Tsutahara K, Yamamichi G, Okusa T, Taniguchi A, Kishimoto N, Tanigawa G, Takao T, Yamaguchi S. Journal: Hinyokika Kiyo; 2016 Mar; 62(3):141-3. PubMed ID: 27133888. Abstract: We report a case of recurring foreign bodies in the urinary bladder. A 67-year-old male inserted a foreign body into the urinary bladder during masturbation. Eight months later, he experienced a fever and went to a hospital where ultrasonography revealed a foreign body in his urinary bladder. Then, he was referred to our hospital for surgical treatment. The patient's surgical record indicated that he had undergone the same operation 3 times in the past thirty years. The inserted foreign body was successfully removed by suprapubic cystotomy, and he was discharged 13 days after the operation. He was also evaluated by psychiatrists, but they diagnosed that he had no mental disorder. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the removal of a foreign body in the urinary bladder four times in the same patient.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
