Summary

Clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC) is effective for managing neuropathic bladder dysfunction, maintaining continence in most patients. Regular screening is vital to detect complications like urinary tract infections and upper urinary tract damage.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC) is a cornerstone in managing neurogenic bladder dysfunction.
  • Long-term outcomes and complication profiles of CISC require ongoing investigation.
  • Understanding patient adherence and functional status is crucial for effective bladder management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of clean intermittent self-catheterization in patients with neuropathic bladder.
  • To assess the incidence of urinary tract infections and upper urinary tract changes in patients undergoing long-term CISC.
  • To identify common complications associated with prolonged CISC use.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 75 patients with neuropathic bladder dysfunction.

  • Patients performed clean intermittent self-catheterization for a mean duration of 7 years (range 1-12 years).
  • Data collection included continence rates, urinary tract infection (UTI) history, upper urinary tract status, and complications.

    • Main Results:

    • 92% of patients achieved and maintained continence using CISC.
    • 42% of patients experienced chronic or recurrent urinary tract infections.
    • The upper urinary tract was well preserved in most patients, but silent hydronephrosis and asymptomatic reflux were noted, necessitating regular screening.
    • Complications occurred in 15 patients, with urethral pathology being the most frequent in male patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Clean intermittent self-catheterization is a highly effective long-term management strategy for neuropathic bladder dysfunction, ensuring good continence.
    • Despite good upper tract preservation, vigilant monitoring for UTIs and silent renal damage is essential.
    • Urethral complications represent a significant concern in male patients undergoing long-term CISC.
