A technique to insert large-bore suprapubic cystostomy catheters (18-French or larger) percutaneously, under radiologic imaging guidance, is described in 15 men who required long-term drainage of the bladder. This single-stage procedure is carried out under local anesthesia with optional IV sedation. It consists of rapid enlargement of the percutaneous track by means of a balloon dilatation catheter followed by insertion of a self-retaining Foley cystostomy catheter through a peel-away sheath. No complications associated with the placement of the catheters occurred, and long-term patient compliance has been satisfactory. Our results suggest that percutaneous, large-bore suprapubic cystostomy may be a preferred alternative to surgical cystostomy.

Suprapubic catheterization is an alternative method for urinary drainage that is used when transurethral catheterization fails. Traditionally, inserted large-bore suprapubic catheters may cause fatal complications. During the past decade, we used a small central venous catheter (CVC) suprapubicly in 16 male patients for the purpose of urinary drainage, when transurethral catheterization failed.

When a large bore suprapubic catheter, such as a Foley catheter, is required for postoperative drainage of the bladder, nearly 10% of patients experience urinary leakage. We describe a novel technique involving the tubularization of the bladder during large bore suprapubic catheter placement to prevent urinary leakage while the catheter is in place and after its removal.

Percutaneous large-bore suprapubic cystostomy catheters were placed under fluoroscopic guidance in 60 patients as an alternative to surgical cystostomy. Foley catheters (16-20 F) were placed in 57 of the patients in a one-stage procedure. Ten-French catheters were initially placed in three patients because of difficulty in dilating percutaneous tracks because of obesity (one patient) or dense scar tissue (two patients).
