Bladder calculus formation as a complication of the Stamey procedure.
Three cases of bladder stone due to a migrated Stamey suture and cuff are reported. In each case peroperative cystoscopy confirmed that the sutures were extravesical. The Stamey cuff subsequently formed a nidus for intravesical stone formation. The mechanism of migration of the cuff, the radiological findings and the operative technique are discussed.
