Foreign Body Migration from the Bladder

Abstract: Because of the unusual route 2 cases of foreign body migration from the bladder are reported. In 1 case a thermometer was inserted into the bladder and penetrated into the peritoneal cavity. In the other case a thermometer penetrated from the bladder into the prevesical space. These penetrations occurred without any obvious manifestations after the thermometers were inserted into the bladder.

Most intravesical foreign bodies can be extracted endoscopically 4 .…”
