    AbstractThe introduction of foreign bodies in the urethra are uncommon. Given its rarity, the approach to this condition is not standardized but it is highlighted that minimally invasive procedures should be prioritized depending on its feasibility.

We perform an analysis into the diagnostic and therapeutic methods used, with postoperative results.
