She reported mild periumbilical pain but there were no other abdominal or urinary symptoms. Patient was afebrile. Abdominal examination was unremarkable. A sinogram was attempted but we were unable to cannulate the sinus. After surgical exploration of the umbilicus, a T shaped copper device was discovered which was removed followed by an unremarkable recovery.
