title: An adverse event of suprapubic catheter SPC insertion. A call for updating the existing guidelines.
abstract: The suprapubic catheter (SPC) is a useful and widely used tool in urological practice. However, complications can arise from its insertion or ongoing care. We add to the literature a case of an adverse event of its insertion where it has gone through a vascular graft and recommending updating the SPC insertion guidelines.
