Abstract 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.
