Open-ended urethral catheters reduce catheter obstruction after hypospadias repair.

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China.
Backgrounds: Urethral catheter obstruction is a notable issue that pediatric patients with hypospadias may encounter in the early postoperative period. This retrospective study aims to assess the efficacy of open-ended urethral catheters with 2 side holes in mitigating catheter obstruction in pediatric patients following hypospadias repair.
Materials And Methods: The clinical data of pediatric patients who underwent hypospadias repair surgery from January 2021 to October 2023 were retrospectively collected.

Collecting urine samples in neonates by catheterisation or suprapubic puncture causes trauma, whereas self-adhesive collection bags can damage fragile skin. An alternative method is the collection of samples from urine-soaked cotton wool balls placed in diapers. The aim of this study was to compare the concentration of albumin, creatinine, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and uromodulin between clean-catch urine and samples collected in cotton wool balls in neonates and assess the efficiency of exosome extraction.

Article Synopsis
- - Transurethral catheterisation in male rats is challenging due to their unique anatomy, particularly the urethral striated sphincter, which complicates smooth catheter insertion.
- - Researchers often resort to either using female rats or performing more invasive procedures like suprapubic bladder punctures when conducting studies that require urine collection or bladder pressure measurement.
- - The study introduces a new, less invasive method for catheterising male rats using a microscope and microsurgical tools, successfully demonstrated on six rats without causing injury, enabling future research involving male subjects.
Suprapubic and Transurethral Bladder Access for Voiding Cystourethrography in Pediatric Male Patients.
Pediatr Rep
March 2024
Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, University Hospital Würzburg, 97080 Würzburg, Germany.
Purpose: To compare suprapubic access (SPA) and transurethral catheterization (TUC) in voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG).
Methods: Retrospective single-center evaluation of 311 VCUG performed in male patients under 12 years of age. Two study groups were built based on the bladder access method.
Giant Prostate Abscess: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Prostate abscess, a rare condition often associated with prostate bacterial infections, often occurs in immunosuppressive individuals and manifests as fever and lower urinary tract symptoms. Clinical practice lacks standardized diagnostic and treatment protocols for prostate abscesses, resulting in predominantly empirical approaches with uncertain outcomes. This study presents a case of a giant prostate abscess, diagnosed in a patient exhibiting fever, lower urinary tract symptoms (including dysuria, urinary frequency, urgency, and weakness), and anal pain.
