Abstract
Long-term complications of suprapubic catheters are not well documented in the literature. The common complications includes infection, stone formation, urine leakage and malignant changes. We report an unusual complication of bladder prolapse in a patient with long-term suprapubic catheterization. Due to the rarity of this complication, its management has not been well studied.
