title: Bladder calculi in women after urethrovesical suspension.
abstract: There have been a number of reports recently on vesical calculi in women with a history of gynecological procedures. Within 1 year we encountered 2 patients with vesical calculi after vesicourethral suspension performed with concomitant hysterectomy. These calculi formed on a retained intravesical suture and a monofilament knitted polypropylene pledget, and they produced interesting pathological and radiographic findings.
