Abstract

Suprapubic catheterisation (SPC) is a common urological intervention. We present a rare case of ureteric cannulation following SPC catheter change and summarize the literature around this rare phenomenon. To our knowledge, our case is the first to have occurred in a patient without a neuropathic bladder.

Keywords: Catheter; Neuropathic bladder; Reconstruction; Sepsis.
