Abstract:
From 1986 to 1993, we analyzed experiences in clean intermittent catheterization(CIC) of 62 patients with neurogenic bladder who were closely follow up for averaging 25months. Initial urodynamic study revealed hyperreflexic bladder in 21patients: 11 with detrusor sphincter dyssynergia. Areflexic bladder was found in 41patients: l5 with low compliance. Although positive urine culture were relatively frequent(61%), febrile urinary tract infections were rare(3%) and upper urinary tract function was stable. Other complications of CIC(29%) were burning sensation, resist on urethral catheter, epididymitis, scrotal abscess, bladder stone, etc. Although minor complications are not rare, we can conclude that preservation of renal function and improvement of urinary incontinence can achieved with intermittent catheterization and that patient must be well motivated and cooperative and be able to use their hands for continuation of CIC.
