Abstract

We report an uncommon case of a-48-year-old female presenting with calculi over suture in bladder following prior abdominal hysterectomy. The stone was fragmented and removed via transurethral cystolitholapaxy using pneumatic energy followed by cystoscopic removal of the suture. Bladder stones are rarely found in females (2%) and their occurrence should be evaluated in detail. Foreign bodies in the urinary bladder always act as a nidus for formation of a calculus.
