Abstract

Background

Previous case reports on vaginal calculi extraction have described the removal of small calculi facilitated via episiotomy or transabdominal incision. This surgical video demonstrates a novel technique of transvaginal extraction of a large calculus utilizing an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) mallet and osteotomes.

Case

An 86-year-old female with urgency incontinence and limited mobility presented with obstipation and was found to have an 8.8 cm vaginal calculus. She had a history of prior vaginal mesh exposure after a mid-urethral sling that was managed expectantly without surgical resection. Cystourethroscopy and anoscopy excluded fistula. The calculus was extracted utilizing an ENT mallet and osteotomes in < 90 min, and no recurrent vaginal mesh exposure was identified.

Conclusion

An ENT mallet and osteotomes can be safely utilized to expedite extraction of a vaginal calculus.
