Endoscopic evacuation of Durasphere.

摘要

Durasphere is a urethral bulking agent used to treat stress urinary incontinence secondary to intrinsic sphincter deficiency. Although rare, chronic outlet obstruction and urinary retention are possible complications of this "permanent" bulking agent. We describe the endoscopic evacuation of Durasphere causing bladder outlet obstruction 1 year after being injected.
