Background: Prostate traction is one way to control post-prostatectomy bleeding. The most popular method involves traction with a catheter fixed to the thigh with adhesive bands. However, this method has its own drawbacks. Objectives: We aimed to simplify this traction procedure and to overcome its disadvantages. Results: The new method effectively controlled post-prostatectomy bleeding. A few patients required surgical intervention. Conclusions: Post-prostatectomy catheter traction using a semi-filled urine bag was an acceptable alternative to the standard method to control post-operative bleeding.
