Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine occurrence rates of catheter-related problems and their association to pertinent clinical characteristics in men with indwelling urinary catheters following laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
Study Design: Descriptive, correlational study.
Subjects And Setting: One hundred twelve men who underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy between December 2010 and December 2012 at the Leiden University Medical Centre in the Netherlands were included in this study. After surgery, a Charriere 20 (20F) silicone catheter was left indwelling for 1 week.
Methods: Data were gathered from 2 sources; we reviewed participants' medical records, and participants completed a questionnaire designed for this study. Pearson χ tests were used to analyze associations between dichotomous and ordinal variables and catheter-related problems. Univariate logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the relationships between continuous factors and catheter-related problems.
Results: Seventy-five percent of participants reported at least 1 catheter-related problem. Univariate regression analyses revealed correlations between body weight and experiencing catheter-related problems (odds ratio [OR] = 1.050; P = .028) and between body mass index and experiencing catheter-related problems (OR = 1.159; P = .049).
Conclusion: Indwelling catheter-related problems after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy are prevalent, and they may occur at any time during the entire period of catheter use. High body mass index and high body weight were associated with an increased likelihood of catheter-related problems following radical prostatectomy.

Background & Problems: Inappropriate urinary catheter use not only prolongs the length of hospital stays but is also associated with increased rates of mortality. The incidence rate of inappropriate urinary catheter use in our unit was as high as 44.6%, and the incidence density of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) was 3.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed data from 11 studies with 2097 patients, finding that ultrasound guidance significantly reduced the risk of certain complications like inadvertent arterial puncture and catheter misplacement.
- * The findings suggest that using ultrasound for CVC placement enhances safety and recommends real-time guidance during the procedure to minimize adverse outcomes.

Background And Objective: Bacteriuria is anticipated in long-term indwelling catheter (IDC) use, and urinary tract infections (UTIs) and related issues are common. Defence mechanisms against infection are undermined by the presence of a Foley catheter, and adjustments to design could influence UTI risk.
Methods: We reviewed the various aspects of IDCs and ureteric stent designs to discuss potential impact on UTI risk.

Bacteria develop biofilms for protection and persistent colonization. Biofilms of pathogenic bacteria can lead to serious medical problems. Bacterial biofilms on catheters used in the treatment of urinary tract diseases represent a major challenge for antibiotic therapy.
