If a catheter cannot be passed easily, attempts to pass it should be abandoned and the reason for the apparent urethral obstruction ascertained. A tortuous groove of the os penis may prevent passage of a urinary catheter and feel like an obstruction due to a urethral calculus. In fact, it is of no clinical significance, but this underlines the inadvisability of using a urinary catheter to detect urethral obstruction.

The biopsy needle is inserted through a stab incision in the skin into the renal cortex under ultrasonic guidance and the biopsy taken, in this case using an 18Fr Biopty-cut needle and automatic biopsy ‘gun’.
