A pen was removed and a portion of a plastic spoon was also removed from the urethra. Figure 87B: A retrograde urethrogram performed after the foreign body removal demonstrates mild narrowing and irregular lumen of the mid and distal penile urethra (arrows), compatible with recurrent history of foreign body placement.
