title: A solution to the non-deflating balloon of a suprapubic catheter.
abstract: A case report describes the successful aspiration of a non-deflating suprapubic urinary catheter by passing a cannula directly down the fistula tract. It is a relatively safe and simple procedure that can be performed in an accident and emergency department.
