Objective To explore the clinical treatment measures and etiology analysis of lower urinary tract and penile foreign bodies. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the etiology and diagnosis of 48 cases of lower urinary tract and penile foreign body in the Department of Urology of our hospital between 1993 and 2012. Results Nine bladder foreign bodies were removed successfully by using cystoscopy; nine were removed through suprapubic cystotomy; urethral foreign bodies in 10 patients were successfully taken out by urethrascope; five foreign bodies were extracted by hand and forceps; rubber bands in 2 patients were cut off under local anesthesia; fretsaw was used to cut through the nested rings in 7 patients; dental drill was used to cut nesting materials in 3 patients; and 3 patients underwent penis skin circumcision overturn stripping ring extraction. No complications after urethral foreign body extraction occurred. Conclusion The lower urinary tract and penile foreign bodies are easy to diagnose, but patients often conceal the etiology, so the natural history collection is very important in the diagnosis, and doctors should take appropriate methods to remove the foreign body after the diagnosis is confirmed.
