Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Catheter knotting, though rare, various techniques have been described for retrieval with significant morbidities such as general anesthesia, radiation exposure during fluoroscopy and hematuria. Thisreport demonstrates knotting in 2 unique cases, with a novel idea for retrieval using holmium laser. First case represents an unusual complication of CISC in which a knot formed during the procedure, with Ryle’s tube. Other represents knotting of household tube inserted for gratification, both being large size tubes with severe entanglement. This paper aims to apprise readers of this use of holmium laser, and help reduce morbidity in such cases.
