Core Tip
Core Tip: False routes developed during urethral catheterization may lead to perforation of the urethra. In comorbid and elderly male patients, this may go so far as to impair the general condition of the patient. Unnecessary and off-label catheter insertion should be avoided and the catheter set should be made by experienced people. The case report that we presented is important in terms of exemplifying this situation.
