Abstract
22 year old male presented with self insertion of a foreign body in his urethra 4 years ago. The metal forceps was successfully extracted endoscopically with the aid of the external pressure technique. This is the second time in literature where an open thumb metal forceps is diagnosed. The metal forceps poses additional difficulties during its extraction owing to its sharp open distal ends, which necessitates the use of external pressure technique and expert endoscopic skills. In the case of open metal forceps, we recommend the use of external pressure technique to aid extraction without injuring the urethra any further.
