Suprapubic catheters are used routinely for bladder drainage; however,complications are commonly reported. These complicationscould be attributed to surgical technique or the catheter itself.Complications related to surgical technique can be controlled andreduced, but catheter-related complications are unavoidable andunpredictable. We report a rare catheter-related complication leadingto obstruction of the ureter in a solitary kidney in a patientwith neurogenic bladder and voiding dysfunction managed withsuprapubic catheter drainage.

We describe the first reported case of transient distal ureteric obstruction attributed to post-surgical oedema in a patient with a solitary kidney. This occurred following combined pelvic floor repair and sacrospinous fixation for recurrent pelvic organ prolapse and manifested clinically as anuria, radiological hydroureter and acute kidney injury in the postoperative period. The transient nature of this obstruction, which was managed by a temporary percutaneous nephrostomy, indicates that it was caused by ureteric compression secondary to soft tissue oedema following surgery. We highlight the importance of this potential complication in females with a history of nephrectomy, unilateral renal tract anomalies or severely diminished renal reserve.

Neurogenic bladder is a chronic condition affecting patients of all ages with significant medical and quality of life implications. Goals of treatment consist of protection of the upper urinary tract and promotion of reliable urinary continence. Successful management involves medications and most often bladder drainage via clean intermittent catheterization. This article reviews current literature on medical management to achieve goals of treatment.
