title: A technique for catheter placement after transurethral resection of the prostate complicated with undermining of the trigone of the bladder.
abstract: Authors presented 17 patients in whom two techniques for catheterization of the bladder after transurethral resection of the prostate complicated with undermining of the trigone of the bladder were applied. The first maneuver, used in twelve patients, was the insertion of a rigid stylet made from a 10F pneumatic probe used for percutaneous nephrolithotripsy into the Foley catheter in order to insert the catheter into the bladder in cystoscope manner. In the remaining five patients, the second maneuver was the insertion of a Dufour catheter over the guide wire left in bladder through the resectoscope sheath. These techniques seemed to be easy and safe.
