Neglected Retained Suprapubic Catheter with Varied Management Options : Case Series
Abstract
Supra-pubic catheterization of bladder is used as a short or long term alternative to per-urethtral catheterization.Some catheter materials are more resistant to encrustation than others, sooner or later all catheters cause complications like UTI, trauma, peri-catheter leakage, non-deflatable balloon, encrustations and stone formations resulting into retained catheter if kept indwelling for longer duration.
Stone formation over neglected indwelling catheter is not an unusual clinical scenario and its management depends on etiology of catheter retention and complication.
This article discusses etiopathogenesis, clinical presentations, diagnosis and varied management options used for the neglected retained supra-pubic catheter in three cases.
