OBJECTIVE: To describe a new technique to deflate impacted Foley balloon. METHOD: A total endourologic method using urethrotome sheath, ureteric catheter, stylet, sedoanalgesia needle and cold cup biopsy forceps is described. The technique involves minimal maneuverability of urethra. RESULTS: The technique is non traumatic, simple, and successful in almost all cases. This technique requires urology instruments which are easily available at any centre. CONCLUSION: The described technique is safe, effective non traumatic and can easily be used in cases of impacted Foley balloon. There is no damage to the posterior urethra.
