Objective |
To introduce a novel method to successfully evacuate severe clot retention in the bladder.
Methods |
A total of 22 male patients were treated using our method for severe clot retention. The bladder was irrigated with 40,000 U chymotrypsin in 50 mL of 5% sodium bicarbonate using a Foley catheter (20F-24F) for 30 minutes. The clots were then easily mobilized and evacuated using continuous saline irrigation and suction with a 60-mL syringe. The procedure was repeated 2-4 times until all the blood clots had been evacuated.
Results |
Of the 22 patients, 19 were successfully treated using this method, with clot retention thoroughly resolved.
Conclusion |
The chymotrypsin and sodium bicarbonate irrigation technique is safe, inexpensive, and a successful method to evacuate severe clot retention.
