    Clean, intermittent self-catheterization significantly improved urinary continence, renal function, and emotional well-being in 218 patients. This urological technique demonstrated high efficacy with minimal complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Urinary voiding dysfunction is a common issue in patients with obstructive uropathy, decompensated detrusor, or neurogenic bladder.
    • Effective management strategies are crucial for improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of clean, intermittent self-catheterization (CISC) in patients with voiding dysfunction.
    • To assess the impact of CISC on urinary continence, infection rates, renal function, and patient's emotional status.

    Main Methods:

    • A non-sterile technique of intermittent self-catheterization was employed.
    • The study included 218 patients diagnosed with obstructive uropathy, decompensated detrusor, or neurogenic bladder.
    • Outcomes including urinary continence, infection, renal function, bladder emptying, and psychological status were monitored.

    Main Results:

    • Marked improvements were observed in urinary continence, reduced urinary infections, enhanced renal function, and better bladder emptying.
    • Significant positive effects were noted on the mental and emotional status of patients and/or their parents.
    • The incidence of complications associated with the procedure was extremely low.

    Conclusions:

    • Clean, intermittent self-catheterization is a highly effective and safe therapeutic option for managing voiding dysfunction.
    • CISC offers substantial benefits across multiple domains, including physical and psychological well-being.
    • The study underscores the importance of host resistance in preventing urinary tract infections.
