    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Suprapubic aspiration is a diagnostic procedure used in neonates.
    • Potential complications, though rare, require careful consideration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a rare complication of suprapubic aspiration in infants.
    • To emphasize the importance of strict indications for the procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report of two neonates undergoing suprapubic bladder puncture.
    • Analysis of clinical presentation and outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Two cases of suprapubic abscess formation following the procedure.
    • Both affected infants were severely dehydrated, with aspiration of gut contents.

    Conclusions:

    • Suprapubic abscess is a rare but serious complication of suprapubic aspiration.
    • The procedure should only be performed when a definite indication is present, particularly in dehydrated neonates.
