Abstract
Two cases of total necrosis of the penile urethra and overlying ventral structures are described in paraplegic male patients treated with indwelling urethral catheters. The lesions were apparently caused by an inexpedient pull on the catheter causing ischaemic necrosis of the urethral wall.
Translated title of the contribution | Longitudinal cleavage of the penis, a rare catheter complication seen in paraplegic patients. |
