Abstract
Most foreign bodies reach the bladder per urethra. They may aIso migrate from adjacent structures or from the intestine, in which case the presence of an entero-vesica1 fistula may further complicate the picture. The mode of remova of foreign articles is largely dictated by their physical properties and the path by which they reached the bladder. In many instances, removal of these foreign bodies may be safely accomplished by cystoscopic instrumentation. If beeswax, are brittIe and can be broken up into smaller particles through the cystoscope, after which they will be passed with little difficulty. Wax and gum may also be disposed of through the proper use of solvents. The use of concentrated solvents in large quantity should be avoided. Mineral oil is an exception to this rule. If concentrated solvents are used they should be employed in small quantities and in such a manner that the bladder trigone is not exposed.
