A suprapubic catheter (sometimes called an SPC) is a device that’s inserted into your bladder to drain urine if you can’t urinate on your own. Normally, a catheter is inserted into your bladder through your urethra, the tube that you usually urinate out of.

How do you do suprapubic Cystostomy?

Via an open approach, in which a small infraumbilical incision is made above the pubic symphysis. Via a percutaneous approach, in which the catheter is inserted directly through the abdominal wall, above the pubic symphysis, with or without ultrasound guidance or visualization through flexible cystoscopy.
