Removal of retained Foley catheter in bladder with novel use of ureteral catheter: lasso technique

Mark D Sawyer et al. Urology. 2008 May.

Abstract

Numerous and varied foreign bodies have been described in the lower urinary tract. Techniques previously used to remove these objects have included open and endoscopic removal. We present a novel endoscopic technique using a ureteral catheter as a lasso to remove a retained foreign body, in this case a retained Foley catheter.
