INTRODUCTION Suprapubic catheterization (SPC) is a routine procedure done in general and urological practice, where per urethral catheterization is not possible (urethral stricture, injury, vulvar carcinoma) or when we require long term alternative drainage (neurogenic bladder trauma to lower urinary tract or prostate abscess). The procedure is simple but blind one, and has the potential to inj...

A seven-year-old stallion with diversion of urinary pass to the thigh due to a urethral fistula caused by gunshot perineal injury was presented to the Urmia University, Veterinary Teaching Hospital. No signs of urinary obstruction or renal failure were observed. Because of inaccessible location of the injured urethra, through a perineal urethrotomy incision, a urinary catheter was effectively a...

We report an unusual complication caused by urethral catheterization. During a routine urethral catheter change in a 38-yr-old woman, a 14-Fr Foley catheter was accidentally placed into the right ureter through the ureteral orifice. The position of the catheter was confirmed by retrograde urogram through urethral catheter. Percutaneous nephrostomy was performed with subsequent proper replacemen...

Urethral diverticula are saclike dilations of the urethra and are classified as either congenital or acquired. While urethral diverticula are commonly seen in female patients, they are rarely seen in men. The most common etiologies of male acquired diverticula include urethral trauma, stricture, abscess or post-hypospadias repair. We report a case of acquired urethral diverticula caused by a tr...

OBJECTIVE The objective was to present a straightforward, step-by-step reproducible technique for placement of a guide-wire into any type of urethral catheter, thereby offering a means of access similar to that of a council-tip in a situation that may require a different type of catheter guided over a wire. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using a shielded intravenous catheter inserted into the eyelet o...

This paper is about the success of early endoscopic (retrorgrade or retrograde-antegrade combined) realignment of pelvic fracture associated urethral injury after blunt pelvic trauma As known, immediate management of pelvic fracture associated urethral injury is to place a suprapubic catheter to provide urinary drainage. Thereafter, 2 alternative management approaches are available. The first o...

conclusions the ligation method with attention to the modifications described further in the article is a simple, safe and cost effective option for the management of urethral prolapse.rnmaintaining the inflated balloon of the foley catheter with timed catheter removal especially adds predictability to this technique. results the mean age of the patients was 6 years old (ranging from 3 to 8 yea...

Urethral catheterization is a common procedure with a relatively low complication rate. Knotting of an indwelling urethral catheter is a very rare complication, and there are only a few case reports on knotted catheters, most of them concerning children. We report an especially rare case where a urethral catheter formed a knot around a double-J ureteral stent after a kidney transplantation. We ...

a 4-day-old holstein bull calf with considerable oedema of the belly (water belly) was referred to theveterinary teaching hospital of the school of veterinary medicine, shiraz university. the owner did notobserve any urination since birth. rupture of the urethra was suspected. perineal urethrotomy was performed. subsequently, catheterization of urethra revealed the obstruction near the external...
