Cystoscopic removal of an intravesical gossypiboma mimicking a bladder mass: a case report

BACKGROUND: Intravesical retained surgical sponges are very rare and only a few cases have been removed by minimally invasive techniques. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of an intravesical gossypiboma in a 71-year-old man from western Nepal, who presented with urinary retention and persistent lo...

description BACKGROUND: Intravesical retained surgical sponges are very rare and only a few cases have been removed by minimally invasive techniques. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of an intravesical gossypiboma in a 71-year-old man from western Nepal, who presented with urinary retention and persistent lower urinary tract symptoms one year after open cystolithotomy. He was diagnosed with an intravesical mass using ultrasonography. The retained surgical sponge was found during cystoscopy and removed through endoscopy. CONCLUSION: Intravesical gossypibomas are rare and can mimic a bladder mass. This is one of the few reported cases of cystoscopic removal.
