Placement of Large Suprapubic Tube Using Peel-Away Introducer

Abstract: We describe a new method for placing a large suprapubic tube and report our experience with 56 patients. This method uses a specially designed fascial dilator and peel-away introducer to place an 18F Foley catheter suprapubically. In our experience the method is simple and effective for the exchange of a small suprapubic tube to an 18F Foley catheter, and for primary placement of a large suprapubic tube. It is easily performed at the bedside or during a minor procedure with the patient under local anesthesia.

“…4 PUC may also be contraindicated in acute prostatitis, prostatic abscess and acute urethritis due to potential risk of bacteremia and septicemia. In these patients, probably the suprapubic catheterization is safest, which is a surgically created percutaneous connection between urinary bladder and exterior to relieve distended bladder In our study, 33.33% (10) patients had urethral stricture, 33.33% (10) BPH, 13%(4) urethral rupture, 3.33%(1) clot retention, 6.66% (2) neurogenic bladder, 3.33%(1) Foley's retention and 6.66(2) posttraumatic catheterization in C-SPC group compared to 43.33% (13) urethral stricture, 30% (9) BPH, 13.33% (4) urethral stone, 3.33% (1) urethral rupture and equal number of Foley's retention, posttraumatic catheterization and urethral growth in US-SPC group. However, in the study by Asante EKA et al, 47.08% (201) patients had BPH, 32.88% (141) urethral stricture, 7.69% (33) urethral injury, 6.29% (27) prostate cancer, 1.86% (8) neurogenic bladder, 1.63% (7) clot retention, 0.93% (4) postprostatectomy bladder neck stenosis, 0.93% (4) meatal stenosis, 0.47% (2) recurrent UTI/severe urethritis and 0.3% (1) had cervix cancer.…”

“…2 Suprapubic catheter placement by outside-in approach like percutaneous trocar method requires bladder distension, which is difficult in few patients of large vesicovaginal or urethrovaginal fistula, whereas the optical urethrotome method described does not require distension of the bladder. 3,10 The outside-in approach of suprapubic catheter placement may have potential problems like difficulty in hitting the bladder leading to ex-travesical deployment, difficulty in controlling the depth of penetration, and injury to intraabdominal viscera. The chance of injury to the intraabdominal viscera is decreased by approximation of the bladder wall to the anterior abdominal wall during the inside-out approach by optical urethrotome.…”

“…Interventional radiologists or urologists typically perform this procedure, but it also may be performed by an emergency physician if these specialists are not available. Depending on community practice style and availability of the specialists, percutaneous suprapubic catheterization with ultrasound guidance may be easily performed at the bedside 11,14,22,25…”
