This study introduces a novel technique using a short ureteroscope for direct visual placement of Foley catheters. This method offers a rapid, simple, and safe alternative to blind catheterization after prostate surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • Transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) can lead to trigone undermining, complicating post-operative bladder catheterization.
  • Blind Foley catheter placement after difficult transurethral procedures carries risks of urethral trauma and failed catheterization.

Observation:

  • A short, rigid ureteroscope (Circon ACMI MICRO-6) was successfully passed through a modified 22F Foley catheter.
  • This enabled direct visualization for precise Foley catheter insertion into the bladder.

Findings:

  • The technique allowed rapid and uncomplicated Foley catheter placement in two patients with significant trigone undermining post-TUIP.
  • Direct visual guidance significantly enhances the safety and efficacy of catheterization in complex post-procedural scenarios.

Implications:

  • This direct visual technique provides a safer and more efficient method for bladder catheterization in challenging urological cases.
  • It potentially reduces complications associated with blind catheter placement, improving patient outcomes after prostate surgery.
