This study presents a safer percutaneous technique for suprapubic catheter insertion. Combining ultrasound and cystoscopy minimizes risks to nearby organs, improving patient outcomes in urology.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Suprapubic catheter insertion is a common urological procedure.
  • The procedure carries significant, often underreported, risks of morbidity.
  • Existing methods may not adequately mitigate risks to adjacent organs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel percutaneous technique for suprapubic catheter insertion.
  • To enhance the safety of suprapubic catheter placement.
  • To reduce the risk of injury to adjacent viscera during the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Percutaneous insertion technique.
  • Intraoperative ultrasonography for guidance.
  • Flexible cystoscopy for confirmation and safety checks.

Main Results:

  • The described technique ensures safe insertion of suprapubic catheters.
  • Minimizes the risk of damage to adjacent viscera.
  • Offers a reliable method for urological procedures.

Conclusions:

  • This percutaneous approach, utilizing ultrasonography and cystoscopy, offers a safer alternative for suprapubic catheter insertion.
  • It effectively reduces the potential for iatrogenic injury.
  • This technique is recommended for improving patient safety in urology.
