Hem-o-lok clips (HOLC) migration after laparoscopic surgery may cause delayed postoperative issues. We present a delayed lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and urinary stones due to HOLC migration from previous radical prostatectomy approximately 10 years ago. A 88-year-old man presenting clinic with LUTS; previously received robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) 10 years ago. HOLC and stones from the bladder were extracted with cystoscopy lithotripsy. Latest follow-up noted complete resolution of symptoms. RALP may cause HOLC migration with variable duration of LUTS symptoms occurring, reaching up to 10 years.
