    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Oncology
    • Radiation Oncology

    Background:

    • Hydrostatic bladder distention is a proposed treatment for bladder tumors and radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis.
    • The procedure is considered attractive for high-risk patients due to its perceived minimal complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a case of a major complication following hydrostatic bladder distention.
    • To highlight the potential risks associated with this procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • A case report detailing a patient who underwent hydrostatic bladder distention.
    • Review of the patient's outcome and the identified complication.

    Main Results:

    • The patient experienced a major complication during hydrostatic bladder distention.
    • The complication resulted in the patient's death.

    Conclusions:

    • Hydrostatic bladder distention, despite its perceived safety, carries significant risks.
    • This procedure may lead to severe, life-threatening complications, even in poor-risk patients.
