Özet
Objective Although the clinical importance of prostate calculi has been understood over time, it is a urinary system disease that can cause different symptoms and can be ignored by urologists sometime. Clean intermittent catheter (CIC) is the gold standard method for bladder rehabilitation and urinary drainage in patients with neurogenic bladder. The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of prostate calculi and related pathologies between patients using CIC and not using CIC. Material-method A total of 314 neurogenic bladder patients who were followed up and treated in our urology clinic were included in this study. The patients were divided into two groups as patients non-using CIC (Group-1, n:154) and patients using CIC (Group-2, n:160). Presence of prostate calculi, the number of CIC used per/day, plasma uric acid levels, urine parameters, mean-stone-density (MSD) and calculi sizes were retrospectively scanned from patient records. Results In this study, no significant difference was observed between the parameters such as age, uric acid level, MSD, urine parameters, and other electrolyte levels (Table 1) While the incidence of prostate calculi in Group 1 was 23.4%; The incidence of prostate calculi in group 2 was 37.5(p = 0.007) (Fig. 2). Conclusion In this study, it was tried to show the relationship between the use of CIC and prostate calculi that cause LUTS and dysuria, which are generally ignored in clinical evaluation but do not pass in patients. As a result of this study, it was determined that the incidence of prostate calculi increased in patients using CIC.
