HANGING VESICAL CALCULUS: A RARE CASE REPORT

A hanging intravesical calculus on the dome of the urinary bladder is rare. It usually hints that the bladder stone encrusts sutures or devices. Here we present a rare case of hanging vesical calculus formed on a prolene material, which was used for closure of an emergency midline laparotomy. The complication can be prevented by the routine use of absorbable material in sutures outside the urinary bladder. No use of any suture through the urinary bladder and cystoscopic double-checking.
