The metal forceps poses additional difficulties during its extraction owing to its sharp open distal ends, which necessitates the use of external pressure technique and expert endoscopic skills. In the case of open metal forceps, we recommend the use of external pressure technique to aid extraction without injuring the urethra any further.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214442019300154
