There were treated 19 children with the bladder foreign bodies in the clinic. There were 12 (63.12%) girls and 7 (36.88%) boys, aged from 3 to 15 years old. Three mechanisms of penetration of foreign bodies into the bladder were delineated: by retrograde way via urethra; while gun-shot wounding, trauma or due to migration from surrounding tissues and organs; as the consequence of faults, committed during performance of operations or therapeutic-diagnostic procedures. In 14 patients the foreign bodies were removed transvesically and in 5--transurethrally. All the patients had recovered. Complications did not occur. Late results were studied up. | lld:pubmed |
