| Summary: | Abstract. Although suprapubic cystotomy for catheter insertion is commonly performed, complications can be associated with serious morbidity. This case describes delayed recognition of a transperitoneal suprapubic catheter (SPC) traversing the small bowel mesentery and causing a closed loop obstruction of the caecum 7 years after SPC insertion. There are very few cases in the literature of SPC causing mesenteric perforation and to the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case causing subsequent obstruction of the caecum and the longest delay of 7 years between SPC insertion and manifestation of bowel obstruction. |
