Abstract: The present invention relates to a urinary blockage removal system using a novel modified Foley catheter. The system is used for removing urinary bladder blockages of patients having obliterated prostatic urethra with dystrophic calcifications. In one exemplary embodiment, a 22-French modified Foley catheter is used as a sheath to maintain the patency of the lumen of the urethra. A tubular dental handpiece is operated by a dental lab motor and is advanced through the 22-French sheath to a point of the obstruction in the bladder. A dental bur can be pushed forward and drills through the calcification in the prostatic urethra and continues to the bladder neck. Using the dental bur, a blockage at the bladder neck can be removed.
