Abstract
Purpose We describe a new technique for exact positioning and placement of a suprapubic tube. Materials and Methods The bladder dome and its relative position on the lower abdomen are localized using a flexible cystoscope, light source and abdominal palpation. Results The technique has been successfully used in patients who require long-term urinary drainage. Conclusions Percutaneous endoscopic cystostomy is simple, effective and easily performed and it simplifies the placement of a suprapubic tube in the difficult to localize bladder.
