Endoscopy for removal of unusual foreign bodies in urethra and bladder.
Numerous reports have been published concerning intraurethral foreign bodies. Two patients required endoscopic intervention: one for the removal of screws from the urethra and the other for extraction of a calculus. The technique utilized the Wolf universal nephroscope and stone dislodger with 3 jaws, and its success prevented a more aggressive surgical approach.
