Urethral versus suprapubic catheter: choosing the best bladder management for male spinal cord injury patients with indwelling catheters
Spinal Cord, 11/02/09

Katsumi HK et al. – SCI patients with a chronic catheter have similar complication rates of UTIs, recurrent bladder/renal calculi and cancer. Urethral and scrotal complications may be higher with UC; however, morbidity from SPT–specific procedures may offset benefits from SPT. Serum creatinine was maintained in both groups. Overall, bladder management for patients with chronic indwelling catheters should be selected on the basis of long–term comfort for the patient and a physician mind–set that allows flexibility in managing these challenges.
