  • Title: Intermittent catheterisation versus percutaneous suprapubic cystostomy in the early management of traumatic spinal cord lesions.
    Author: Noll F, Russe O, Kling E, Bötel U, Schreiter F.
    Journal: Paraplegia; 1988 Feb; 26(1):4-9. PubMed ID: 3281099.
    Abstract:
    Spinal injury patients initially treated by intermittent catheterisation (IUC) and those who received a fine-bore suprapubic catheter (SPC) have been reviewed. The results show that fine-bore suprapubic catheterisation seems to be superior to intermittent catheterisation because the rate of urinary tract infections is significantly lower in the SPC-group (50%) than in the IUC-patients (71.9%), and the first infecting organisms in the SPC-group differ from those in the IUC-group and are much more easily treated by antibiotic therapy.
