Response of Bladder and Urethral Mucosa to Catheterization

Short-term urinary bladder drainage with the use of urethral Foley catheters is practiced frequently in hospitals throughout the country. We studied the urethral and bladder cellular proliferation after exposure to latex, silicone-coated latex, and 100% silicone catheters. Fifty-one male patients were studied; no differences in acute cellular reaction could be detected among the three different catheter materials. Promotion of all-silicone products in hospital use may be unwarranted.

PERBEDAAN ANGKA KEJADIAN FISTEL URETROKUTAN PADA PENGGUNAAN KATETER URETRA DAN KATETER SUPRAPUBIK DENGAN STENT SETELAH OPERASI HIPOSPADIA

Objectives: To study rate of urethrocutaneous fistula formation associated with usage of indwelling urethral catheter compared to suprapubic catheter with stent after hypospadias repair. Materials and methods: Twenty patients with primary hypospadias of penile shaft and posterior type underwent reconstruction with onlay technique by a single operator. Urinary diversion in 10 patients utilised a urethral catheter, while the remainder used a silicone suprapubic catheter with stent. Results: Seven urethrocutaneous fistula were observed (35%) with 4 fistulas in the group with suprapubic catheter and stent, and 3 fistulas in the group with urethral catheters. Fisher exact test value was 0,001 with significance level of 1,000 (p>0,05). Conclusion: There was no difference in rate of urethrocutaneous fistula with use of urethral catheter and suprapubic catheterisation with stent after hypospadias repair.
