title: Complication of percutaneous suprapubic cystostomy.
abstract: A patient with urethral stricture presented to us with acute retention. Sequential dilatation over a guidewire was done and a suprapubic catheter was placed percutaneously. Guide wire broke during the procedure, which came to our notice on micturating urethrogram. Laser core through for the stricture and endoscopic removal of the guidewire were done.
