Background: Surgical therapy for benign prostatic obstruction is indicated after failure of medical therapy or in the presence of secondary side effects. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the most well-established intervention. Urinary incontinence is the most distressing complication after TURP and may occur secondary to transient stress incontinence, unmasked neurogenic dysfunction, or iatrogenic injury to the external sphincter. Case Presentation: We present a 71-year-old man with total incontinence after TURP from a retained urethral Foley catheter after attempted self-extraction. Conclusion: The transected catheter was removed under general anesthesia with a larger grasper through a rigid cystoscope. Copyright 2020, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers.
