Urine catheter placement

We report a patient with history of recurrent invasive rectal adenocarcinoma complicated by obstructive uropathy requiring nephro-ureteral catheter placement. Two years later during a regular catheter exchange, the patient developed unusually bloody urine raising suspicion for possible vascular injury. CT angiogram and conventional angiogram were negative. However, an antegrade nephrostogram revealed a fistulous communication between the right ureter and the right internal iliac artery. Subsequently, the artery was sacrificed using detachable coils...

OBJECTIVE: To emphasize preventive measures and outline management strategies for inadvertent ureteral cannulation. METHODS: We present a case report and conduct a literature review of 39 case reports on ureteral cannulation, examining a total of 48 patients. RESULTS: About 67% of the cases were female, and long-term catheterization was observed in 67% of the cases. Neurological conditions such as spinal cord injury (SCI), stroke, dementia, multiple sclerosis, and myasthenia gravis were the primary factors (48%) in ureteral cannulation...

Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is defined as a urinary tract infection associated with catheter placement for more than two consecutive days. Hence, antibiotic resistance in the context of CAUTIs represents a substantial challenge. The aim of this study was to present the characteristics of patients with CAUTI and the susceptibility pattern of CAUTI bacteria in the national reference hospital of the Sumatra region of Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted at H. Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan, Indonesia, from 2020 to 2021, using a total sampling...

BACKGROUND: The global cesarean delivery rate is high and continuing to increase. A bladder catheter is usually placed for the cesarean section as a distended bladder is assumed to be at higher risk of injury during surgery and to compromise surgical field exposure. Preliminary data suggest that self-bladder emptying (no catheter) at cesarean delivery may have advantages and be safe. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate self-bladder emptying to indwelling foley bladder catheterization for a planned cesarean on rate of postpartum urinary retention and maternal satisfaction...

UNLABELLED: Complications associated with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery using a synthetic non-absorbable mesh are uncommon (<5%) but may be severe and may hugely diminish the quality of life of some women. In drawing up these multidisciplinary clinical practice recommendations, the French National Authority for Health (Haute Autorité de santé, HAS) conducted an exhaustive review of the literature concerning the diagnosis, prevention, and management of complications associated with POP surgery using a synthetic mesh...

BACKGROUND: A new type of silver alloy hydrogel-coated (SAH) catheter has been shown to prevent bacterial adhesion and colonization by generating a microcurrent, and to block the retrograde infection pathway. However, these have only been confirmed in ordinary patients. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a SAH catheter for preventing urinary tract infections in critically ill patients. METHODS: This was a prospective single-center, single-blind, randomized, controlled study...

BACKGROUND: Ruptures of the urinary bladder and urachus are the most frequent cause of uroperitoneum in foals. Surgical correction is often the first treatment choice, however, nonsurgical methods, such as urine removal via urinary catheters and abdominal drains, have been successfully performed in foals. CASE DESCRIPTION: Two foals were referred to the Equine Perinatology Unit for suspicion of uroperitoneum. The diagnosis was confirmed by hematobiochemical and ultrasound examinations, thus cystorrhaphy and cystoplasty were attempted...

A 2-year-old female Vietnamese potbellied pig was referred to the Large Animal Teaching Hospital at the Ontario Veterinary College for anoplasty and rectovaginal fistula repair. The presence of atresia ani and rectovaginal fistula had been previously diagnosed. Contrast radiography was used to confirm the diagnosis and determine the position of the fistula and terminal rectum. Under general anesthesia, the urethra was catheterized. An incision was made at the anatomic location of the anus, the rectovaginal fistula was isolated through deep dissection, and a Penrose drain was placed around it for caudal retraction...

PURPOSE: To calculate the frequency of infection and acute urinary retention (AUR) following transperineal (TP) prostate biopsy at a single high-volume academic institution and determine risk factors for developing these post-biopsy conditions. METHODS: Men undergoing TP prostate biopsy from 2012 to 2022 at our institution were retrospectively identified and chart reviewed. TP biopsies were performed with TR ultrasound (TRUS) guidance with anesthesia using a brachytherapy grid template...

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) or contrast-induced acute kidney injury has varying definitions, but in general, increased serum creatinine level by ≥ 0.3 mg/dL (26.5 µmol/L) or 1.5x of baseline value or urine output <0.5 mL/kg/h within 1-7 days after contrast media (CM) administration can be considered as CIN. CIN is one of the most common complications and is associated with increased mortality in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Thus, risk stratification for CIN should be made and preventive strategies should be employed in which the intensity of the approach must be tailored to patient's risk profile...

In a percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) procedure, the placement of the nephrostomy tube is usually inserted last to monitor and maintain urine drainage, avoid potential urine extravasation, and ensure hemostasis. In this report, we provide a clinical case involving the misplacement of a nephrostomy tube, resulting in direct perforation of the inferior vena cava (IVC) after undergoing one-sided PCNL that was successfully treated conservatively, and investigate the current management censuses from the literature for intravenous misplacement of a nephrostomy tube...

INTRODUCTION: Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a common urologic condition affecting approximately 1% of all children. Surgical success often depends on the grade of VUR, as patients with grades 4 or 5 have been have a greater risk for postoperative complications. Unplanned urinary catheter placement (UCP) postoperatively and prolonged length of hospital stay (LOS) are indicative of unexpected complications. The association between VUR severity and such metrics remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: The study's objective is to determine if the severity of VUR is associated with higher rates of UCP or prolonged LOS after ureteroneocystostomy (UNC)...

A 5-year-old wether was presented for an acute onset of loss of appetite and inability to urinate. Urethral urolithiasis causing urethral obstruction was diagnosed and a cystostomy catheter was placed. The wether continued to be unable to urinate through the urethra and further developed a perineal pseudodiverticulum. Diverticulectomy followed by a urethroplasty using porcine small intestinal submucosa was performed to relieve the obstruction. The wether developed a urethral stricture following urethroplasty and the owners refused a perineal urethroplasty...

Hydrometrocolpos is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by gross distension of the uterus and vagina with fluid, which may result in obstruction to the urine flow. The insertion of Foley catheter into the uterus can relieve the obstruction to the flow of urine and improve renal function. Herein we present a case of infant who was diagnosed with an abdominal mass and renal insufficiency that was managed by the placement of Foley catheter into the dilated uterus and the renal function recovered.

CASE SERIES SUMMARY: A 2-year-old female spayed Abyssinian cat was evaluated for lethargy and inappetence that first occurred approximately 4 days prior. In addition, urination had not been observed by the owner for 5 days. A Lilium species plant had been brought into the house approximately 5 days before initial evaluation, and intoxication was therefore suspected. Bloodwork revealed anemia, severe azotemia and hyperkalemia. As the cat was anuric with severe azotemia, hyperkalemia and fluid overload, intermittent hemodialysis was recommended...

An erratum was issued for: Noninvasive and Invasive Renal Hypoxia Monitoring in a Porcine Model of Hemorrhagic Shock. The Protocol section was updated. Step 2.3.1 - 2.3.1.2 of the Protocol was updated from: Measure PuO2 in the bladder. Remove all air from the bladder by slowly squeezing the bladder while ensuring urine does not leak out. Place the tip of the luminescence quenching-based PuO2 sensor in the bladder via a cystotomy, similar to the catheter. Connect the fiber optic cable from the bladder sensor to the data collection device...

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Vesico-cervical (VCxF) is an uncommon entity among the gamut of genitourinary fistulas. The common causes include prolonged labor, previous lower-segment cesarean sections (LSCS), difficult vaginal deliveries, and traumatic injuries. METHODS: A 31-year-old woman presented with a history of LSCS for prolonged labor 4 years ago followed by a failed robotic repair for diagnosed VCxF and vesico-uterine fistula (VUtF) 1 year ago. The patient developed a recurrence 4 weeks after catheter removal...

The antihistamine dimenhydrinate as the trigger of acute urinary retention has not been reported. A 35-year-old female with a long-term history of depression treated with sertraline (150 mg/d) since years developed acute urinary retention after having received 100 mg dimenhydrinate intravenously for excessive, postural vertigo. Urinary retention required placement of a disposable catheter, which halted 1.6 liter of urine. Since urinary retention persisted, she received a permanent catheter, which initially halted another 1...

We present a 73-year-old male with a history of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis, type 2 diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease status post stents, prostate carcinoma status post radiation, and prostatectomy, with recurrent bladder neck contracture requiring suprapubic catheter, left urethral stricture with nephrostomy tube placement, penile implant, and recurrent urinary tract infections, who presented to the emergency room complaining of constant bilateral groin pain for one day. Physical exam was significant for suprapubic tenderness and a chronic suprapubic catheter and left-sided nephrostomy tube...
