Abstract
Numerous accounts of foreign objects, which sometimes defy imagination and include all types of objects, inserted into the urethra have been documented. The frequency of such cases renders these an important addition to the diseases of the genitourinary organs. Regardless of the motive for insertion, the extraction, can be challenging and requires creative deployment of the full armamentarium of the specialist. We report a 26 year old male with history of insertion of foreign objects into his urethra for sexual stimulation. Plain X-ray imaging revealed metallic rods within the urethra. The foreign bodies were extracted per-urethra under general anaesthesia with the use of cystoscopes and foreign body forceps. A urethral catheter was placed for 48 hours, and the patient voided well following its removal.
