    Spontaneous double-J catheter rupture occurred twice in a prostate cancer patient due to missed changes. Fragment removal and replacement required complex cystoscopic and percutaneous procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Device Complications

    Background:

    • Prostate cancer can lead to urethral complications requiring urinary diversion.
    • Double-J catheters are commonly used for ureteral stenting.

    Observation:

    • A 61-year-old male with prostate cancer and urethral entrapment experienced spontaneous double-J catheter rupture on two occasions.
    • The patient missed scheduled catheter changes, leading to prolonged periods (20 and 18 months) with ruptured stents.

    Findings:

    • Catheter fragments were successfully removed using a combination of cystoscopic and percutaneous techniques.
    • New double Pit-Tail catheters were successfully placed after fragment removal.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the critical importance of regular follow-up and timely catheter changes to prevent severe complications.
