AB  - Complaints  involving  the  lower  genitourinary  system  are  among  the  most  common  urologic  problems  encountered  by  the  Emergency  Physician.  The  collection  and  evaluation  of  urine  plays  a  critical  role  in  the  process  of  diagnosis  and  treatment.  Volitional  voiding  and  transurethral  urinary  catheterization  are  the  preferred  methods  of  bladder  drainage  and  can  be  accomplished  in  most  instances.  There  are  situations  when  the  transurethral  route  is  contraindicated  or  technically  not  possible  and  alternate  avenues  must  be  explored.  A  percutaneous  approach  to  urinary  bladder  drainage  and  decompression  becomes  the  solution,  offering  both  therapeutic  and  diagnostic  results.1–9  Suprapubic  bladder  catheterization  has  been  used  for  decades  as  an  effective  means  of  accessing  the  bladder.
