Purpose of Review

Intermittent catheterization (IC) is widely used for management of urinary retention with a range of supplies, techniques, and complications that need to be considered. This review focuses on more recent literature published in the last 5 years to update readers on current data and guidelines.

Recent Findings

This article will cover IC technique, outcomes, and troubleshooting that can be applicable to the urologists, advanced practice providers, rehabilitation therapists, nurses, and caregivers. It will focus on management of complications including sediment and stones, urinary incontinence, urethral injury and stricture, and recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI). Patient perceptions of quality of life with IC should be considered and optimized as it is associated with compliance and outcomes.

Summary

This article has been constructed to serve as a guide for providers of patients who catheterize to aid in supplies selection and patient education with in-depth discussion of technique adaptations and management of complications based on literature published in the last five years.
