Iatrogenic tube jejunostomy complicating suprapubic cystostomy: A case report
Muhammad, A. Sadiq; Bello, Ahmed; Ahmed, Muhammed & Yusuf, Maitama H.
Abstract
Suprapubic cystostomy (SPC) can be done by open or percutaneous technique. The procedure
is considered simple and generally safe even in less experienced hands. However, some
complications may arise occasionally, including bowel injury. We report a 60-year-old man
who presented with acute-on-chronic urinary retention 6 months after a SPC in a peripheral
hospital for chronic urinary retention. The catheter was draining scanty turbid fluid and was
changed regularly. Abdominal exploration revealed an intact full bladder with the supposed
suprapubic catheter passing through a small perforation into the jejunum. He had repair of
the perforation and proper SPC was inserted. The recovery was uneventful, and he was
discharged home after a week.
