A new suprapubic cystostomy trocar system.

We describe a newly developed suprapubic catheterization set with a defined sigmoidal, geometrically and functionally tripartite tip and grooved trocar shaft. The device was designed to enhance the handling and safety features of the current commercially available sets to promote the broader application of suprapubic catheterization.

Suprapubic stab cystostomy: a safer technique.

Suprapubic catheters have gained wide acceptance in urology. Although many regard their insertion a simple procedure, morbidity is significant and is probably underreported. We describe a percutaneous technique using intraoperative ultrasonography combined with flexible cystoscopy to ensure safe insertion, minimizing the risk to adjacent viscera.

Intermittent catheterisation versus percutaneous suprapubic cystostomy in the early management of traumatic spinal cord lesions.

Spinal injury patients initially treated by intermittent catheterisation (IUC) and those who received a fine-bore suprapubic catheter (SPC) have been reviewed. The results show that fine-bore suprapubic catheterisation seems to be superior to intermittent catheterisation because the rate of urinary tract infections is significantly lower in the SPC-group (50%) than in the IUC-patients (71.9%), and the first infecting organisms in the SPC-group differ from those in the IUC-group and are much more easily treated by antibiotic therapy.
