To bypass obstructive processes from disease or trauma of:
Urethra
Prostate
Bladder neck

internal opening of canal, 1 cm above midpoint of inguinal ligament
more lateral
pg 521
Phimosis tx?
circumcision
Epidermoid cysts PE?
Cysts on scrotal skin
Firm, nontender, yellowish - cause filled with keratin, common
Often +1
Benign
Hydrocele patho?
Peritoneal fluid fills the potential space within the tunica vaginalis
UBC patient positioning: Females?
supine with hips and knees flexed and abducted (dorsolithotomy)
Drape appropriately, expose only what is necessary - for modesty
Encountering Resistance?
Stricture or obstruction
Make sure catheter is well lubricated
Coude’-tipped catheter may help
Bent tip faces the anterior portion of patient’s urethra
If no success, call urologist:
Special bougie and followers
Flexible cystoscope
Suprapubic catheterization
