Abstract
Suprapubic catheters are inserted into the bladder through the abdominal wall. They are usually indicated in cases of failed urethral catheterisation or for long-term catheterisation in certain patient groups. There are a number of techniques of insertion, including the use of a trocar or the Seldinger technique. The most serious complications relating to insertion is the potential for bowel perforation. Commonly, troubles with changing the catheters can present acutely to urology units. The British Association of Urological Surgeons' (BAUS) guidelines for the insertion, management of complications and the long term follow up of suprapubic catheters, is a useful reference for what can be a daunting clinical situation.

About the Clinical Cases Database
The Foundation Years Clinical Cases Database is a selection of 600 peer-reviewed clinical cases in the field of patient safety and clinical practice, specifically focused on the clinical information needs of junior doctors, based around the Foundation Year Curriculum programme (MMC).
