Abstract

75 patients, needing a bladder drainage for nonurological indications and having sterile urines were studied after randomization into two groups. In the first group, drained with an urethral catheter, urinary infection took place in 12 (= 30%) patients, while it was detected in 4 (= 11%) drained with a suprapubic catheter. In this latter group, patients felt more comfortable, had less pain; the duration of urinary drainage and hospital stay was shorter.
