Abstract

Supra-pubic Catheterisation (SPC) is one of the commonly done Urological Procedures. Certain long term complications of Suprapubic catheter have been commonly reported like urinary tract infections, catheter blockage due to debris, suprapubic pain and haematuria. However immediate and intermediate complications are rarely reported. Incisional herniation through the SPC site is not uncommon and can present early. Diagnosis is mostly clinical and straightforward. Hernias through SPC site should be repaired early owing to complications of strangulation, incarceration and small bowel obstruction if left untreated as the neck is narrow. A prompt surgical intervention should be the normal dictum in such patients to prevent life-threatening complications.
