Bladder Calculus Formation as a Complication of the Stamey Procedure

Abstract
Three cases of bladder stone due to a migrated Stamey suture and cuff are reported. In each case preoperative cystoscopy confirmed that the sutures were extravesical. The Stamey cuff subsequently formed a nidus for intravesical stone formation. The mechanism of migration of the cuff, the radiological findings and the operative technique are discussed.
