Abstract
-
Bladder stones attached to foreign bodies such as non-absorbable suture are not common. Migration of non-absorbable suture through tissues may offer stone formation. In this report, we present a case of bladder calculus in 38-year-old woman who underwent McDonald operation for incompetent cervix during pregnancy. This calculus was formed on a retained intravesical suture material, and we removed the stone containing nonabsorbable suture material transurethrally.
