An Indwelling Urethral Catheter Knotted Around a Double-J Ureteral Stent : An Unusual Complication after Kidney Transplantation

الملخص EN

Urethral catheterization is a common procedure with a relatively low complication rate.

Knotting of an indwelling urethral catheter is a very rare complication, and there are only a few case reports on knotted catheters, most of them concerning children.

We report an especially rare case where a urethral catheter formed a knot around a double-J ureteral stent after a kidney transplantation.

We will discuss the various risk factors for knotting of a catheter and the methods to untangle a knot.
