Preoperative three-dimensional CT imaging was performed, using a crucian carp with an inserted injection needle as a density reference. Density comparisons between the foreign body, needle, and fishbone suggested that the foreign body was unlikely a retained needle or fishbone. Considering the patient's dietary habits, it was suspected that the object was an accidentally swallowed wooden toothpick. The patient underwent ultrasound-guided transurethral surgery, during which a wooden toothpick approximately 3.4\u2005cm long, 4\u2005mm wide at its midsection, with a rough surface, was successfully removed. Postoperative imaging confirmed the complete removal of the foreign body, and the patient recovered well. During a six-month follow-up, the patient reported no urinary or abdominal symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A detailed patient history and imaging studies are crucial for diagnosing unexplained bladder foreign bodies. Ultrasound-guided transurethral cystoscopic surgery is an effective method for removing bladder foreign bodies. This case provides valuable insights for managing and treating similar complex cases.<\/jats:p>\n
