Abstract
Condom catheters are often used in the management of male urinary incontinence, and are considered to be safe. As condom catheters are placed on the male genitalia, sometimes adequate care is not taken after placement owing to feelings of embarrassment and shame. Similarly, sometimes, the correct size of penile sheath is not used. In this article, the authors discuss the case of a 60-year-old man who, following developed urinary incontinence after surgical removal of the prostate gland, was managed by condom catheter application. After 2 months of application, the patient developed a massive urethral diverticulum. The case of this patient stresses the importance of adequate care to prevent this complication.
