Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Suprapubic catheter insertion is a common procedure.
  • Complications, though rare, can be significant.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with peritonitis and feculent discharge two months post-suprapubic catheter insertion.
  • This indicated a delayed bowel perforation.

Findings:

  • Bowel perforation is a feared complication of suprapubic catheterization.
  • Lower abdominal scars increase the risk.

Implications:

  • Early recognition and management of delayed perforation are crucial.
  • Ultrasound guidance during insertion may mitigate perforation risk.
