    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Persistent urinary wound discharge is a common complication following prostatectomy with temporary cystostomy.
    • Managing this discharge is crucial for patient recovery and preventing secondary infections.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a simple, effective suture technique for managing urinary wound discharge after prostatectomy.
    • To prevent complications associated with temporary cystostomy.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel purse-string suture technique using two monofilament nylon sutures inserted through the abdominal wall, encircling the cystostomy.
    • Sutures were left untied until catheter removal, then tied and removed with skin stitches.

    Main Results:

    • The technique successfully managed urinary wound discharge in all 19 consecutive patients.
    • No complications were reported in any of the patients undergoing the procedure.

    Conclusions:

    • This simple suture technique is a safe and effective method for managing post-prostatectomy urinary wound discharge.
    • The technique offers a reliable solution for preventing complications related to temporary cystostomy.
