Özet
Intravesical foreign body is a significant consideration in the assessment of lower urinary tract problems. We present a case of foreign body in the urinary bladder with the longest interval in the literature for clinical presentation, about 19 years following a transvesical prostatectomy. It provides an unusual indolent cause of urinary retention and stresses the consideration of intravesical foreign bodies as a reason for lower urinary tract symptoms.
