Electric Wire as Foreign Body in the Bladder and Urethra—a Case Report and Review of Literature

Abstract

Foreign body in the urinary bladder is a relatively rare occurrence. A variety of foreign bodies, majority of which were mostly self-inflicted for autoerotic reasons, have been reported in the literature. Here, we report a case of selfinserted electric wire in the bladder and review the literature.

A Modified Endoscopic Primary Realignment of Severe Bulbar Urethral Injury

“…Injury patterns of anterior urethra vary and encompass mainly urethral crush injuries with straddle and iatrogenic injuries. [13][14][15] The mainstay objectives for managing anterior urethral injuries are to obtain prompt urinary drainage and reestablish urethral continuity while preventing complications, such as stricture, ED, and incontinence, 16,17 which is different from posterior urethral injury. Timing for surgical intervention is controversial, [18][19][20] and depends largely on the patient's condition and surgeon's comfort.…”

Unusual Foreign Bodies in the Lower Genitourinary Tract

“…Wise considered urethral manipulation as a paraphilia combining sadomasochistic and fetishist elements, where the orgasm of a particular individual depends on the presence of a fetish. 6 Our first case was a 5-year-old girl who inserted an eyeliner cap into her vagina while playing with it was quite unnatural as the girl was not supposed to be aware of vaginal orifice and not self-motivated to insert such foreign body. Her parents told us the history and details of the foreign body and showed an eyeliner with missing cap.…”

“…Sometimes USG is necessary if the foreign body is thought to be radiolucent. 6 The main goal is to complete removal of the foreign body with minimal trauma to the genitourinary tract.…”

Cambios en el perfil y manejo de los traumatismos genitourinarios en un área de salud estándar

“…Las lesiones penetrantes suelen estar asociadas con afectación de otros órganos como la lesión peneana, la lesión testicular o lesión pélvica e, incluso, puede producirse afectación del recto que origine abscesos pélvicos o fístulas. (44,59,254).…”

“…Los traumatismos penetrantes del pene representan el 33% de los traumas genitales externos penetrantes en los cuales se puede producir la asociación de lesión uretral de un 4 a un 24% según los diferentes estudios, apreciando una mayor probabilidad de afectación uretral en los casos de heridas por arma blanca o laceraciones (254). Las lesiones penetrantes son poco frecuentes, siendo la causa más habitual las armas de fuego; observándose hasta en el 80% de los casos asociación con lesiones en otras estructuras vecinas como muslo y escroto cuando las lesiones peneanas son debidas a heridas de bala (229).…”
