The patient is a 68-year-old male with a recent history of urethral stenting. He had a catheter placed and had subsequent bleeding. His catheter has become clogged multiple times and CT scan shows a large clot within the urinary bladder. Informed consent was obtained. Preoperative antibiotics were administered. The patient was brought to the operating room, given a general anesthetic and prepped in the usual fashion. His urethra was intubated with a resectoscope sheath. He had a normal urethra and extremely large prostate gland. His bladder was full of clots. These were evacuated. Approximately 250mL of thick dark old clot was evacuated.
