Abstract

Urodynamic evaluation is frequently used in the follow-up of the treatment and diagnosis of incontinence, which develops in connection with a neurogenic or non-neurogenic reason. There is no identified serious complication during or after urodynamic evaluation, present in the literature up to date. Hematuria, due to the urethral catheter, the development of oedema in the urinary bladder wall and the development of urinary bladder spasm as a result of catheter irritation, are some of the complications, which may occur. In this paper, twist and knot formation in the double lumen urethral catheter after cystometry of a patient with a hypocompliant urinary bladder, has been presented.
