Removal of urethral-bladder catheter (without follow-up)

Removal of the urethral-bladder catheter (removal of the urinary catheter) is a simple urological procedure performed when drainage of the urinary bladder is no longer necessary.

The procedure is performed by specialized medical personnel, under safe conditions, and consists of extracting the urinary catheter after evaluation of the medical indication.

This is indicated in situations where the patient can resume normal urinary function or at the end of the catheter usage period.

The without follow-up variant means that the procedure is performed without subsequent monitoring of micturition within the clinic, with responsibility falling to the patient to monitor the resumption of urination and any symptoms.

The procedure is quick and generally well tolerated. After catheter removal, mild discomfort sensations or temporary burning on urination may occur.

Indications

• completion of urinary drainage need
• post-procedure or post-operative recovery
• resumption of spontaneous urination

Benefits of the procedure

• quick and minimally invasive procedure
• performed under safe conditions
• increased comfort for the patient
• The patient is advised to present to the physician in case of urinary retention or other symptoms.
