The aim of this discussion is the management of scrotal injury caused by magnetic urogenital foreign bodies.

Self-reported attempts at removal were unsuccessful and caused for presentation to the emergency department. Additional attempts at removal by medical staff unsuccessful in emergency department and therefore the patient proceeded to the operating room.
