NEO/SUPRAPUBLIC

The suprapubic is only used during surgery and left in place while the new bladder heals..........if your neo is a Lemon...try getting on contact with an institution that does biofeedback to see if you're doing your kegals correctly or have tests done to find out why your neo is not stretching.........or change it to something that does work.
where are you Silk?

Sylvia,

Thank you for your reply, not sure what all of that means....

Can you give me your honest opinion of the supra please.

Thank you.
Silk

This is what I found that discussed issues with a Suprapublic.

Indications for suprapubic catheters include: 1. failed urethral catheter, 2. long term usage (if left in urethral long terms catheters can lead to acquired hypospadius and recurrent/chronic UTIs) Contraindications: 1. need to rule out bladder cancer in cases of clot retention, 2. lower abdominal incisions with likelihood of adhesions, 3. pelvic fracture

Complications: 1. UTIs 2. Blockage 3. Bladder Stones 4. Bladder cancer 5. bypass track by urine

I back with another question (thank goodness for this valuable site)

Can anyone give me some information on a suprapublic in place of having to cath with the neo?????????

I have done some research on the net, but not much out there.

I would appreciate any feed-back on the subject.

Again thanking all of you for your information.

Silk
