Main Results:

Specific clinical scenarios warranting or precluding suprapubic catheterisation are identified.
Key advantages include reduced urethral trauma and suitability for long-term use.
Disadvantages involve surgical risks and potential complications.

Conclusions:

Suprapubic catheterisation is a valuable option for bladder drainage when indicated.
Careful patient selection and management are essential to optimize outcomes.
