This comprehensive guide covers various aspects of catheterization in urology, including indications, techniques, catheter types, balloon inflation, complications, and preventive measures. Learn about different catheter sizes, uses of large-caliber catheters, balloon inflation risks, latex allergies, prevention of catheter-associated UTIs, and procedures like ureteric stenting and suprapubic catheterization.

Indications of catheterizations • Diagnostic: • Cystourethrography • Urodynamic study • Measure Residual urine • Therapeutics: • Relief of urine retention (BPH,…) • Clot retention • Postoperative
French scale • Catheter sizes refer to the outside circumference • French (Fr) scale (circumference is in mm) • 1 Fr=0.33 mm in diameter.
Catheter (18-16F) is usually satisfactory for adults. • Inflating the balloon prematurely may result in urethral rupture
Large-caliber catheters are used to evacuate blood clots • Why Large balloons (30 mL)?? • To decrease the balloon migrating into the prostatic fossa after TUR_P. • Can be used as traction to control hemorrhage from the prostatic fossa
The standard latex catheter can result in severe reactions in patients with latex allergies • Silicone varieties are good alternatives even if it is to remain only for few days
Catheter associated UTI Incidence: • short term catheterization 10-20% • Long term catheterizations 100% Guideline to prevent catheter associated UTI • Only when necessary • Condom catheter • Aseptic catheterization technique • Using sterile lubricant
Condom catheter Elastic adhesive band
The bag below the bladder levelShould not touch the floorIn males, the catheter should be secured above the thigh Guideline to prevent catheter associated UTI
Percutaneous puncture U/S guided puncture
Transrectal or transvaginal puncture Transrectal Transvaginal
Chemically induced rupture Obsolete !!!
Double-J catheters • Facilitate internal drainage due to obstruction from internal or external ureteral compression • To decrease sepsis or obstruction in the presence of steinstrasse after ESWL
Ureteral catheterization • performing retrograde pyelography • collecting urine for cytology or cultures • performing brush biopsies • Draining an obstructed kidney
