Radiologists often encounter urinary catheters with deflated balloons. This study presents methods for removing these challenging devices, referencing seven successful cases.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Radiology
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Urinary catheter balloon inflation failure is a common clinical problem.
  • Difficulty in removing such catheters can lead to patient discomfort and potential injury.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe effective methods for the removal of urinary catheters with non-deflating balloons.
  • To share clinical experience with successful management of this complication.

Main Methods:

  • Review of techniques used for urinary catheter removal when balloon deflation fails.
  • Case series of seven patients managed for non-deflating urinary catheter balloons.

Main Results:

  • Successful removal of urinary catheters with non-deflating balloons was achieved in all seven cases presented.
