Removing a foley catheter can sometimes be a challenge, especially when it is related to non-deflating balloons which represent most of the cases. In female patients, due to their urethral anatomy, several techniques have been proposed for balloon puncture when other maneuvers have failed. We present a simple technique for non-deflating balloon catheter removal in an old female patient with a permanent indwelling foley catheter which required no anesthesia. The balloon was effectively punctured with minimal patient's discomfort. In addition, this technique was tested in several ex-vivo model catheters and found to be safe and effective. Our technique can be used for non-deflating balloon puncture in female patients in an outpatient setting without anesthesia.
拔除 Foley 导尿管有时颇具挑战性，尤其是当问题出在球囊无法放气时，这种情况占了大多数。在女性患者中，由于其尿道解剖结构的特点，当其他操作失败时，已提出了多种球囊穿刺技术。我们介绍一种针对长期留置 Foley 导尿管的老年女性患者的简单技术，用于拔除球囊无法放气的导尿管，该技术无需麻醉。球囊被有效穿刺，患者不适感降至最低。此外，该技术在多个离体模型导尿管上进行了测试，结果表明安全有效。我们的技术可用于门诊环境下无需麻醉的女性患者球囊穿刺。
