title: [Foreign bodies in the bladder and urethra].
abstract: Many cases have been published in the urological literature of foreign bodies apparent in the bladder and urethra. Based on the five cases we are now presenting, we review this chapter of urology. We discuss the clinico-pathological aspects of this pathology and provide diagnostic and therapeutical guidance. We recall the role urologists have to play in preventing such events in the course of their diagnostic and therapeutic activity.
