Clean, intermittent, self-catheterization (CISC) effectively manages urinary retention in adults, proving easy to learn and well-tolerated long-term. Most patients adapt well, with low morbidity, making CISC a viable treatment option.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology

Context:

  • Urinary retention presents diverse etiologies.
  • Post-cystoplasty surgery is a notable cause.
  • Management requires effective, long-term solutions.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and patient tolerance of clean, intermittent, self-catheterization (CISC) for urinary retention.
  • To assess the learning curve and long-term adherence to CISC.
  • To determine the morbidity associated with CISC in this patient cohort.

Summary:

  • 41 adults with urinary retention underwent CISC for a mean of 37 months.
  • Most patients learned CISC in outpatient settings with minimal assistance.
  • 72% reported no or mild discomfort, and adherence was 100%.

Impact:

  • CISC is an effective and easily learned method for bladder emptying.
  • Patient adaptation to CISC is generally positive, despite initial reluctance.
  • The technique demonstrates relatively low morbidity, supporting its clinical utility.
