“…Ce type de sondage est également préférable lors d'opération avec circulation extra-corporelle car le risque de formation de sténoses post opé-ratoires est moindre qu'avec les sondes transurétrales. La combinaison de traumatisme de pression et de sous-perfusion transitoire est peut-être déterminante pour le développement d'une sténose [6]. Un avantage supplémentaire du cathétérisme suspubien est la possibilité de mesurer le résidu urinaire (protocole de miction).…”

“…4 Studies have suggested that latex catheters are more prone to developing these complications than silicon catheters, especially when the change duration is unknown. 5 In certain parts of the world, the high patient-to-urologist ratio and inadequate healthcare financing delay the definitive urological interventions for patients giving rise to the increased burden of long-term catheterisation. 6,7 As a result, catheter-related complications are higher.…”

Objectives: This study compared the infection rates, degree of encrustation, symptoms, and complications in patients regarding the duration of urethral catheterisation (three weeks, six weeks, and eight weeks).Design: A cross-sectional study with stratified simple random samplingSetting: Urology Unit, Korle Bu Teaching HospitalParticipants: One hundred and thirty-seven male patients with long-term urinary cathetersInterventions: Participants were grouped into 3 weeks, 6 weeks, and 8 weeks duration of catheter replacementsPrimary outcomes measures: Symptoms due to the urinary catheters, urinalysis, urine and catheter tip cultures, sensitivity, and catheter encrustations were assessed.Results: Eighty-six patients had a primary diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), 35 had urethral strictures,13 had prostate cancer, two had BPH and urethral strictures, and one participant had bladder cancer. There was no difference in the symptoms the participants in the different groups experienced due to the urinary catheters (p > 0.05). The frequency of occurrence of complications (pyuria, p = 0.784; blocked catheter, p=0.097; urethral bleeding, p=0.148; epididymo-orchitis, p=0.769 and bladder spasms, p=1.000) showed no differences in the three groups. There was no statistical difference in the urinalysis for the three groups (p>0.05) and the degree of encrustations (3 weeks: 0.03 ± 0.06, 6 weeks: 0.11±0.27 and eight weeks: 0.12 ±0.27) with p=0.065.Conclusions: In this study, the duration of urinary catheterisation using silicone Foley’s catheters did not influence the complication and symptom rates; hence silicon catheters can be placed in situ for up to 8 weeks before replacement instead of the traditional three-weekly change.
