RESUMO
Insertion of a suprapubic catheter is one of the essential skills that all surgeons should master. It provides an alternative way to drain the bladder in cases where urethral catheterization is contraindicated or deemed difficult. It also has a role in elective cases where long-term drainage of the bladder is required. In this article, we discuss the MediPlus suprapubic catheter kit, which offers a new and potentially promising technique for safe introduction of the catheter into the bladder.
