We present 2 cases of men that have inserted silicone seal-ant into their urethras. One man had ingeniously tried to use the silicone to remove a urethral foreign body he had inserted some months earlier. The other man attempted to remove his silicone foreign body using a metal screwdriver. Both men had failed endoscopic foreign body extraction procedures and required open surgery to remove the silicone sealant. Both men went onto to develop severe urethral strictures eventually requiring urethral reconstruction at a regional centre.
