  • Title: Percutaneous endoscopic cystostomy for bladder localization and exact placement of a suprapubic tube.
    Author: Alagiri M, Seidmon EJ.
    Journal: J Urol; 1998 Mar; 159(3):963-4. PubMed ID: 9474193.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: We describe a new technique for exact positioning and placement of a suprapubic tube. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The bladder dome and its relative position on the lower abdomen are localized using a flexible cystoscope, light source and abdominal palpation. RESULTS: The technique has been successfully used in patients who require long-term urinary drainage. CONCLUSIONS: Percutaneous endoscopic cystostomy is simple, effective and easily performed and it simplifies the placement of a suprapubic tube in the difficult to localize bladder.
