Hypothesis
The study aims to share experiences and strategies for managing patients with intravesical electric cable insertions.
Conclusion
Removing self-inserted electric cables from the urethra and bladder is complex and often requires tailored surgical approaches.
Supporting Evidence
- Patients often delay seeking help due to embarrassment, leading to complications.
- Imaging studies are crucial for determining the treatment approach.
- Endoscopic procedures can resolve many cases, but some require open surgery.
Takeaway
Some people accidentally put electric wires in their bladder, and doctors have to be very creative to take them out safely.
Methodology
The study involved four male patients with foreign bodies in the urethra, focusing on two cases with electric wires and detailing their surgical management.
Limitations
The study is based on only two cases, limiting the ability to draw definitive conclusions.
Participant Demographics
