چکیده
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In this retrospective study, nature, clinical presentations, diagnostic modalities, and endoscopic treatment of urinary system foreign bodies were evaluated. METHODS A total of 8 cases were treated with endoscopic surgery between February 15, 2007 and June 12, 2012. Clinical findings, radiologic diagnosis, and management were reviewed. RESULTS We observed that urinary tract foreign bodies were generally secondary to iatrogenic causes; however, bladder/urethral foreign bodies could also be due to self-insertion. Clinical findings were different secondary to their location in the urinary system. All foreign bodies were treated endoscopically. CONCLUSIONS Foreign bodies of the urinary system can successfully be treated with endoscopic modalities without any complications.
