Endoscopic removal of a retained intravesical tampon using lubricant.
An intravesical foreign body can be a true urologic challenge when endoscopic removal of the object is initially unsuccessful. There are few reports in the literature regarding techniques to assist endoscopic removal without resorting to open cystostomy. We present a novel technique for the removal of an intravesical tampon via use of a water-based lubricant and a resectoscope.
