Patients present with foreign bodies in the genitourinary tract of a surprising array of shapes and sizes. We present a case of a woman with a metallic pipe lodged in the bladder and a novel technique for removing it. The patient underwent cystoscopy and a prolene snare was fashioned intraoperatively which facilitated safe and rapid extraction of the metallic pipe. Foreign bodies in the genitourinary tract present the urologist with a unique challenge and we present a simple, cheap, and effective way of managing these objects using an easily constructed cystoscopic snare.Keywords
