    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Infectious Disease

    Background:

    • Neurogenic bladder dysfunction requires bladder management.
    • Sterile intermittent self-catheterization is a common method.

    Observation:

    • Seven patients (aged 16-54) with neurogenic bladder transitioned from sterile to clean intermittent self-catheterization.
    • Urine and renal function were monitored for one year.

    Findings:

    • Bacteriological analysis showed equivalent urine quality between sterile and clean techniques.
    • No significant difference in infection rates was observed.
    • Patients with infrequent catheterization showed some variation.

    Implications:

    • Clean intermittent self-catheterization is a safe and effective alternative to sterile technique.
