Open thumb forceps. An unusual foreign body in the urethra: technique of its removal

M S Ansari et al. Urol Int. 2000.

Abstract

A great variety of foreign bodies in the urethra have been reported in the literature. Mostly, these cases were reported to emphasize the unusual nature of the objects requiring technical modifications for their removal. We report an interesting case of self introduced open thumb forceps into the urethra and technique of its retrieval.
