Purpose Data on urethral catheter related injuries are sparse. To highlight the dangers
inherent in traumatic urethral catheterization we prospectively monitored the incidence, cost …

Objective. Urethral catheterization (UC) is a common procedure carried out on a daily basis.
The aims of this study were to assess the quality of YouTube as an educational tool …

Purpose There are no prospective data describing the incidence and spectrum of long-term
complications associated with traumatic urethral catheterisation (UC). We prospectively …

Objectives To perform a multi-institutional investigation of incidence and outcomes of
urethral trauma sustained during attempted catheterization. Patients & Methods A …

Purpose: We investigated urethral diametric strain and threshold maximum inflation
pressure for rupture during inadvertent inflation of a catheter anchoring balloon in the …

Background Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is the most frequently
occurring health care-associated infection among hospitalized patients. Adequate …

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of a novel “safety-valve” device for preventing catheter
related urethral trauma during urethral catheterization (UC). To assess the opinions of …

Purpose: Post-operative urinary retention (POUR) is a well-recognised complication of
inguinal hernia repair (IHR). The magnitude of the problem is unclear, and contradictory …

Objective To quantify user variability and manufacturer variability in urinary catheter
anchoring balloon inflation pressure and to mitigate any significant variance by …

Objectives: Although previous studies have shown the feasibility of non-intubated
techniques, it is unknown whether avoiding urinary catheters can enhance recovery. This …
