2. Mitrofanoff procedure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitrofanoff_procedure

   Mitrofanoff's concept revolutionized clean intermittent catheterization because it allows urine to be drained via a route other than the urethra. [14] However, the Mitrofanoff procedure was slow to be adopted until a pediatric resident named Marc Cendron translated Mitrofanoff's French language paper for the well-known pediatric urologist Dr ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_catheterisation

   Intermittent catheters come in a variety of designs and differ depending on the user's genitals, with a catheter for a penis being longer and a catheter for a vulva being shorter. The catheter is inserted into the urethra by the patient or a carer and can either be directed down a toilet or, if measurement of volume is required, into a ...

4. Urinary catheterization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinary_catheterization

   Common indications for urinary catheterization include acute or chronic urinary retention (which can damage the kidneys) from conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, orthopedic procedures that may limit a patient's movement, the need for accurate monitoring of input and output (such as in an ICU), urinary incontinence that may compromise the ability to heal wounds, and the effects of ...

5. Neurogenic bladder dysfunction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurogenic_bladder_dysfunction

   For most patients, this can be accomplished with intermittent catherization which involves no surgery or permanently attached appliances. Intermittent catheterization involves using straight catheters (which are usually disposable or single-use products) several times a day to empty the bladder. [8] This can be done independently or with ...

6. Urinary retention - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinary_retention

   Intermittent catheterization performed at the hospital is a sterile technique. Patients can be taught to use a self catheterization technique in one simple demonstration, [19] and that reduces the rate of infection from long-term Foley catheters. Self catheterization requires doing the procedure periodically during the day, the frequency ...

7. Benign prostatic hyperplasia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benign_prostatic_hyperplasia

   Self-catheterization is an option in BPH when it is difficult or impossible to empty the bladder. [97] Urinary tract infection is the most common complication of intermittent catheterization. [98] Several techniques and types of catheter are available, including sterile (single-use) and clean (multiple use) catheters, but, based on current ...
