A New, Inexpensive and Minimally Invasive Method to Remove a Foley Catheter with Balloon Obstruction

Urethral catheterization can sometimes be associated with complications. Sometimes, it may be difficult to deflate the balloon and remove the catheter. This report introduces a new, inexpensive, minimally invasive and fairly rapid method to remove a Foley catheter with balloon obstruction. We used this method during the last 3 years in hospitalized patients over 18 years of age, with Foley catheter balloon obstruction, effectiveness, patient satisfaction and the complications of this method were evaluated. Total of 21 patients (19 males and 2 females, average age 56) had Foley catheter balloon obstruction. In all 21 patients the catheters were removed successfully. Patient satisfaction was excellent in 14 and good in 5 patients. Using this new, inexpensive and minimally invasive method, we were able to relieve Foley catheter balloon obstruction in all 21 patients. Using this procedure is recommended to solve this problem in such cases.
