Abstract
ObjectiveSuprapubic catheters are placed for a variety of indications and can be used for postoperative bladder drainage following urogynecologic procedures. Our group has found them to be very useful for postoperative management when patients live a long distance from the hospital. We created this instructional video to share our technique for safe suprapubic catheter placement.DescriptionThe goals of this video are to discuss the indications as well as the risks and benefits of suprapubic catheters to guide proper patient selection. We will then demonstrate how to place a suprapubic catheter followed by a brief discussion of complications that patients may experience.ConclusionWith proper patient selection and skillful technique, suprapubic catheters can be a safe and effective method of postoperative bladder management following urogynecologic procedures.DISCLOSURE OF RELEVANT FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIPS:Annetta M.
