title: Intravesical Weck clip migration after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
abstract: Multiple modalities are used for hemostasis during laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. We report an instance of migration of a hemostatic clip into the bladder leading to stone formation. As such, these devices should be used with caution in the region of the vesicourethral anastomosis.
