  • Intermittent balloon catheterization, developed in Japan in 1995, allows patients to self-implant and remove a temporary balloon catheter, potentially enhancing their quality of life (QOL).
  • This study examined the real-world application and complications of these catheters by surveying 76 patients with spinal cord lesions at Kanagawa Rehabilitation Hospital, focusing on their experiences and outcomes.
