Abstract

A case of 74 years old male patient who underwent RALP with bladder neck reconstruction. Persistent vesicourethral anastomotic leak was seen at cystography. A self-made side fenestrated Foley catheter was used and on the day after, a complete reversal in fluid output between the Foley catheter and the drain was seen.
