Abstract

A non-sterile technique of intermittent self catheterization was performed for 6 months to 3 years of duration an 4 patients with in inability to void in a normal fashion because of neurogenic bladder. Marked improvement was noted in urinary infection, renal function, bladder emptying, and perhaps most important the mental and emotional status of the patients and/or parents. The extremely low incidence of complications and its therapeutic efficacy clearly make non-sterile intermittent self catheterization an outstanding weapon in the urological field.
