Abstract

The obstacle that represents the bladder neck posterior lip after a prostate transuretral resection is, sometimes, the cause of sugtrigonal perforations when a bladder catheterization is performed after the surgery. We explain an easy procedure that allows a safe catheterization, reducing the risk of complications added to those of the surgery.
