There have been a number of reports recently on vesical calculi in women with a history of gynecological procedures. Within 1 year we encountered 2 patients with vesical calculi after vesicourethral suspension performed with concomitant hysterectomy. These calculi formed on a retained intravesical suture and a monofilament knitted polypropylene pledget, and they produced interesting pathological and radiographic findings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
