title: Stone formation from intravesical Hem-o-lok clip migration after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
abstract: Intravesical Hem-o-lok clip (HOLC) migration is a rare complication of prostatic surgery. We report two cases of migration of a HOLC into the bladder leading to stone formation. As such, these devices should be used with caution in the region of the vesicourethral anastomosis.
