Abstract
Objective:To assess the value of central venous catheter in treatment of refractory urinary retention in children.Methods: Seven boys with acute urinary retention,who underwent failed routine drainage from Aug.2007 to Jun.2008,received paracentric suprapubic cystostomy via disposable central venous catheter.The patients were followed up for 2-11 months and the outcomes and complications were observed.Results: The catheterization processes were successful at the first try,with the mean operation time being(3.2±0.4) min,ranging 2-5 min.The drainage outcomes were satisfactory and there were no complications.Conclusion: Suprapubic puncture and drainage with central venous catheter is safe and effective for children with urinary retention and is worth popularizing.
