Abstract

Suprapubic catheters are used routinely for bladder drainage; however,
complications are commonly reported. These complications
could be attributed to surgical technique or the catheter itself.
Complications related to surgical technique can be controlled and
reduced, but catheter-related complications are unavoidable and
unpredictable. We report a rare catheter-related complication leading
to obstruction of the ureter in a solitary kidney in a patient
with neurogenic bladder and voiding dysfunction managed with
suprapubic catheter drainage.
