Summary

Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) is a common treatment for neurogenic bladder. While generally safe, rare but serious complications like bladder perforation and necrosis can occur.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) is a standard treatment for neurogenic bladder management.
  • Over 15 years, CIC has shown low complication rates, mostly minor.

Observation:

  • This study reports two rare, life-threatening complications from routine CIC.
  • These severe events included bladder perforation and bladder necrosis.

Findings:

  • Bladder perforation and necrosis are potential, albeit infrequent, major complications of CIC.
  • These findings highlight the importance of vigilance even with established procedures.

Implications:

  • Healthcare providers should be aware of these severe risks associated with CIC.

  • Further research may be needed to refine CIC protocols and minimize severe complications.
