Physical examination revealed palpable hard mass starting from distal part of prostatic urethra to midpenile urethra. Rigid cystoscopy showed complete occlusion of urethra. Laser fragmentation and mechanic extraction failed. Open surgery was decided. Midline incision was performed at the distal end of foreign body in the penile urethra. The foreign material was extracted successfully.
