Abstract

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.
