A Case of Urethrocutaneous Fistula: A Forgotten Segment of a Broken Urethral Catheter
نویسندگان
چکیده
A retained urethral catheter is a rare iatrogenic complication of which few cases have been reported in the literature. In this study, we describe a case of a forgotten urethral Foley catheter causing urethracutaneous fistula on scrotum. An 80-year-old man was referred for a small pus-draining cutaneous opening on the lower part of the scrotum. The distal segment of a broken Foley catheter was found, and it was located from urinary bladder to bulbous urethra with its tip penetrating the urethral mucosa. This catheter was removed using flexible cystoscopic forceps, and urethracutaneous fistula was well resolved with conservative therapy.

In cases of repair of urethrocutaneous fistulae developing after primary hypospadias surgery, tubularisation often becomes difficult after excision of scar tissue. It is also well-known that this type of fistulae has a high recurrence rate. In this study of 15 cases, the aim is to analyze the results of conventional urethrocutaneous fistula repair, augmented with the principle of Midline longit...
