Hi @tempa, I moved your question about getting suprapubic catheter to this existing discussion:
– Stricture of the urethra: Have you had a suprapubic catheter? Other?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/stricture-of-the-urethra-what-treatment-options-have-you-tried/

I did this so that you can read the previous posts and connect easily with fellow members like @victor1930 @jakedduck1 @predictable @jimb1950 @douglasebaker @bulbous1970 @djangomay2 and others who may have experiences to share about the necessity of an x-ray or not when the catheter is replaced.

Do you get an x-ray each time?
