Retention of urinary catheters is an increasing complication in our practice. We have reported 18 patients seen over a 6-month period during which 528 catheterizations were done, representing an incidence of 3.4%. Various forms of management were offered and blind percutaneous suprapubic puncture (BPSP) was found to be simple and effective. One out of 13 patients, however, undergoing BPSP developed transient haematuria. The high incidence of malfunctioning catheter balloon mechanisms may be due to poor quality equipment or lack of appropriate storage facilities.

Background: The clinical safety and efficacy of organ-sparing cystectomy (OSC) are subjects of ongoing debate, particularly concerning the potential increased risk of recurrence when retaining additional organs and its effectiveness in preserving sexual and urinary functions.
Methods: Adhering to the PRISMA 2020 statement and AMSTAR Guidelines, we conducted a systematic literature search up to February 2024 using PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. The comparison focused on the clinical safety and effectiveness of OSC and standard radical cystectomy (SRC) in the treatment of bladder tumors.
