Abstract

The bladder is the most common site of foreign bodies in the urinary tract. Most foreign bodies are self-inserted via the urethra due to exotic impulses, psychometric problems, or sexual curiosity. Here we present a rare case of bladder stones due to the migration of the Heme-o-lok clip. We present a case of a 76-year-old male with hematuria for 4 days. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan showed a 15 mm calculus noted in the urinary bladder. The patient underwent cystolitholapaxy which was successful. Foreign bodies inserted in the bladder pose a significant challenge and require timely intervention.
