Case presentation: This report detailed an 80-year-old male who presented to the clinic with hematuria. Cystoscopy revealed a bladder calculus adherent to the bladder wall, with an underlying metallic tack. A stent snare was used to secure the edges of the tack, and a resectoscope loop was carefully used to resect and free it from surrounding mucosa. Conclusion: This was the first case report to describe the successful removal of a metallic fixing tack from the bladder through a transurethral approach in a patient post-hernia repair. | DOI: | http://monash.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.14440/bladder.2024.0008 | URI: | https://repository.monashhealth.org/monashhealthjspui/handle/1/57857 | Type: | Article |
