ABSTRACT
Vesical stone formation over migrated Hem-o-lok clips (Weck Surgical Instruments [Teleflex Medical], Durham, North Carolina) after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is rare. We report our experience in 2 patients who presented with lower urinary tract symptoms after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and were found to have vesical stones formed over migrated Hem-o-lok clips.
