  • Title: [Anuric acute renal failure after suprapubic catheterization].
    Author: Chautemps N, Milesi C, Forgues D, Adra AL, Morin D, Cambonie G.

    Abstract:
    Percutaneous suprapubic catheterization is an alternative when placement of a urethral catheter is contraindicated or unsuccessful. We report the case of a 3-day-old newborn, who presented anuric acute renal failure secondary to placement of a suprapubic catheter. An excessive length of catheter had been inserted into the bladder and was obstructing the vesicoureteral junctions. Several measures can be taken to prevent this complication, such as systematic measurement of the length inserted into the bladder, use of a catheter with 1cm gradations or recourse to radiopaque material.
