This case report presents a novel, cost-effective, and minimally invasive office-based approach for managing urethral and bladder stones in an emergency setting. The method involves initial stone manipulation into the bladder, followed by Foley catheter placement and a regimen of tamsulosin to enhance urethral dilation and urine flow. Instillagel is subsequently applied after catheter removal to aid stone expulsion. This technique avoids surgery, demonstrating efficacy in a patient with a 6 mm urethral stone, providing a patient-friendly and resource-conscious alternative to traditional management.
