Abstract

We report a case of a bladder stone that formed on a Hem-o-lok clip used to suture an urethrovesical anastomosis. A 65-year-old man presented with intermittent perineal pain, dysuria, and gross hematuria 4 years after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer. Cystoscopy demonstrated a stone formed around a Hem-o-lok clip that had possibly eroded into the urethra. Ultrasonic lithotripsy of the bladder stone with endoscopic extraction of the Hem-o-lok clip was performed.
