Abstract
Three male spinal cord injured patients who underwent suprapubic catheterisation with urethral closure are reported. Although the procedure is well established in women, and has been mainly used in patients with multiple sclerosis, this simple procedure is also possible in men, and worth considering in difficult situations where continence has been impossible to achieve by more conventional means.
