Foreign bodies in the urinary tract are quite rare. The etiology for this phenomenon is variable. The extraction of those objects should be done in endoscopic manner whenever possible. The larger the object's diameter, the harder it will be to extract. According to recent literature the female urethra can calibrate up to 54 Fr (1.8 cm). The case which presented here demonstrates an endoscopic extraction of an object of 2.5 cm diameter (75 Fr.). Our paper aims to suggest strategies for successful endoscopic extraction and to shed more light on the skills and inter-specialty collaboration that these cases needed.
