SUMMARY Two cases of hanging bladder stone are described. They were both phosphatic stones. There may be some difficulty in the interpretation of a plain X‐ray of such a condition. It is shown that these calculi had formed on unabsorbable material in the bladder wall: in the one case a nylon stitch and in the other a linen thread ligature. It is inadvisable to use such ligature or stitch material at cystotomy or vesico‐urethral suspension in preference to electro‐coagulation or the use of catgut.
