the aim of this study was to determine the most effective and suitable time to remove the urinary catheter (foley) after anterior and posterior colporrhaphy surgery. patients who experience anterior colporrhaphy operation for genuine stress incontinency or pelvic organ prolapsed will have post operative voiding dysfunction. these patients need postoperative drainage. one of the methods preferre...

INTRODUCTION Indwelling urethral catheter is often used in male spinal cord injury patients to provide drainage to neuropathic bladder. If the balloon of a Foley catheter is inflated in urethra or, when a properly inserted Foley catheter is later pulled and thereby, the Foley balloon comes to lie in urethra, an excessive length of catheter will remain outside the penis. This sign is termed "lon...

INTRODUCTION Silicone Foley catheters tend to become stiffer as size of the catheter increases. Whereas the tip of a size 12 French silicone, Foley catheter is soft and flexible, a size 24 French silicone, Foley catheter is distinctly stiff. Chronically inflamed neuropathic bladders are susceptible to perforation by the tip of a Foley catheter. We report a patient with multiple sclerosis and mo...

at times, despite an unripe cervix, induction of labor may be needed. in these cases, a safe and suitable method should be considered for cervical ripening and pregnancy termination. the aim of this study is the comparison of vaginal misoprostol with foley catheter for cervical ripening and induction of labor. this randomized clinical trial was performed on 108 pregnant women who had referred t...

the purpose of this study is to show the effect of extraamniotic administration of corticosteroids to shorten the times to either active labor and/or delivery. this is a double blind randomized study. 65 patients who were candidates for the termination of pregnancy between the ages of 16-45, with intact membranes and unripe cervix were randomly divided into two groups, a study group (n=34) and ...

results at the end of the study, four 4 cases in the nelatone group and 12 cases in the foley group presented with uti (p = 0.01). no positive urine cultures were found in the control group. conclusions the nelatone catheters, compared with the foley ones, had a lower risk of uti in the long term use. verifying this claim by further studies can have an important role in reducing utis in patient...
