A report of a technique for insertion a soft urodynamic catheter into the bladder, when urethral obstruction causes the catheter to bend and fold over itself at the resistance site.
The urodynamic catheter is mounted on a 12F Coudé tip Tiemann catheter, which then carries the tip of the urodynamic catheter beyond the obstruction site into the bladder. The Tiemann catheter-mounted urodynamic catheter technique can serve as a suitable option to insert a urodynamic catheter into the bladder in all male patients in whom it fails due to kinking.
