Abstract:
The inability to remove a urethral catheter because of inadvertent stitching or entrapped sutures after radical retropubic prostatectomy is rarely reported in the literature. Various methods are recommended to solve this problem. Here, we discuss a method developed by using a pediatric optical urethrotome to remove endoscopically a Foley urethral catheter that was encircled by a vesicouretheral anastomotic suture.
