Summary: Management of urethral sounding related injuries continues to be a challenge due to the wide breath of objects implicated, the rarity of cases, and chance of significant complication. We present a particularly challenging and novel case where a patient inserted a round of live ammunition into his urethra. Non-surgical removal was limited over concern for accidental discharge of the round, and the patient was taken to the operating room where open removal was performed. Psychiatric evaluation should be considered for cases where sounding injury requires surgical intervention, and a patient-centered, prevention-focused approach is best for building physician-patient rapport and adherence.
