The lower urinary tract's foreign body is an uncommon condition, with the bladder being the most common site. Most foreign bodies are self-inserted via the urethra due to exotic impulses, psychometric problems, or sexual curiosity. We present a case of a 39 years old male with a lower urinary tract and abdominal pain. An abdominal CT Scan showed a sharp metal in the bladder. The patient underwent a successful extraction of a foreign body with biopsy forceps transurethrally. Foreign bodies in the bladder represent a urological challenge that requires prompt management. Treatment is determined by size, location, and shape. Minimally invasive procedures are recommended to prevent bladder and urethral injuries. However, surgical treatment should be performed if further injuries are expected. The suspected history and presenting symptoms are crucial and could lead to further investigations. Extraction should be carefully performed to minimize bladder and urethral injury. Gentle endoscopic management is the primary treatment with a high success rate. This case report aims to describe a case of the longest 12 cm sharp metal foreign material inserted to the bladder in South East Asia along with the management and subsequent condition to provide a better insight in managing future unusual cases.
下尿路异物是一种罕见病症,膀胱是最常见的发病部位。大多数异物是因奇异冲动、心理问题或性好奇而经尿道自行插入的。我们报告一例39岁男性患者,伴有下尿路及腹痛症状。腹部CT扫描显示膀胱内有一枚尖锐金属异物。该患者经尿道成功使用活检钳取出了异物。膀胱异物是一项需要及时处理的泌尿外科难题。治疗方式取决于异物的大小、位置和形状。建议采用微创手术以预防膀胱和尿道损伤。然而,如果预计会造成进一步损伤,则应进行手术治疗。可疑病史和现有的症状至关重要,可能会引发进一步检查。取出异物时应小心操作,以尽量减少膀胱和尿道损伤。轻柔的内镜处理是主要治疗方法,成功率很高。本病例报告旨在描述东南亚地区一例膀胱内插入长达12厘米尖锐金属异物的病例,以及其处理过程和后续情况,以便为未来处理此类罕见病例提供更好的见解。
