Abstract

There have been several recent reports on bladder calculi in women with a previous history of pelvic operation. We experienced 3 patients with foreign body induced bladder stones within 1 year. These calculi had formed on a retained intravesical non-absorbable sutures or a pledget. The radiological and cystoscopic findings and operative technique are discussed.
