PURPOSE We evaluated the clinical outcomes of the non-operative management of post-gastrectomy duodenal stump leakage in patients with gastric cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 1,230 patients underwent gastrectomy at our institution between 2010 and 2014. Duodenal stump leakage was diagnosed in 19 patients (1.5%), and these patients were included in this study. The management options v...

BACKGROUND Foreign body ingestion continues to be a common problem that contributes significantly to high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Coins are the most common foreign body lodged in the oesophagus. This study was conducted to describe our experience of removal of coins from oesophagus with Foley catheter under ketamine effect. METHODS This was a retrospective study conducted at Distri...

Authors presented 17 patients in whom two techniques for catheterization of the bladder after transurethral resection of the prostate complicated with undermining of the trigone of the bladder were applied. The first maneuver, used in twelve patients, was the insertion of a rigid stylet made from a 10F pneumatic probe used for percutaneous nephrolithotripsy into the Foley catheter in order to i...

BACKGROUND We report the anecdotal observation of substandard urological care of elderly paraplegic patients in the community suffering from long-term sequelae of spinal cord injuries. This article is designed to increase awareness of a problem that is likely underreported and may represent the 'tip of the iceberg' related to substandard care provided to the vulnerable population of elderly pat...

Annotation. The article presents a review of the literature on evolution hemostasis methods during open transbladder prostatectomy in patients with benign hyperplasia. improvement has gone from suturing prostate lodge, bladder neck and capsule to partial lodge installation Foley catheter for purpose mechanical compression lodge. Ukrainian urologists, including those Vinnytsia, are highlighted. ...

We designed a simple model to illustrate posterior nasal packing to inexperienced trainees in a classroom environment. The plunger and the smaller end of a 20ml syringe, which is cut off, are discarded. The hollow syringe represents the nasal cavity. A Foley catheter is inserted from one end until it exits at the other end, representing the catheter’s tip seen in the oropharynx. While pulling t...

BACKGROUND AND AIM In this article, we describe an easy and cost-efficient technique to improve the applicability of blue dye for chromopertubation using a pediatric transurethral catheter. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated our technique at a University Hospital with 21 patients aged between 19 and 39 years with primary and secondary infertility, undergoing laparoscopical chromopertubation o...

Urinary catheters are widely used for hospitalized patients and are often associated with high rates of urinary tract infection. We evaluated in vitro the antiadherence activity of a novel antiseptic Gendine-coated urinary catheter against several multidrug-resistant bacteria. Gendine-coated urinary catheters were compared to silver hydrogel-coated Foley catheters and uncoated catheters. Bacter...
