A tight external condom catheter strap caused bilateral hydronephrosis in a patient. Removing the strap resolved the condition, highlighting the need for proper patient education and clinical assessment of catheter use.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • External condom catheters are commonly used for male urinary incontinence.
  • Retention straps are necessary for proper catheter function but can cause complications.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with bilateral hydronephrosis.
  • Standard urodynamic and cystoscopic evaluations did not reveal an underlying cause for the hydronephrosis.

Findings:

  • The bilateral hydronephrosis was directly attributed to a tight external condom catheter retention strap.
  • Resolution of hydronephrosis occurred after the removal of the retention strap.

Implications:

  • Clinicians must be vigilant in assessing the appropriateness and fit of external condom catheters.
