OBJECTIVE: @entity2650 is the most common @entity546 occurring in 1/300 live births. Various surgery techniques are used in repair of @entity2650 . @entity1 and @entity1 with @entity2650 are usually admitted to emergency services by worried their parents for the first time. @entity4434 urethroplasty is widely used in the repair of @entity2650 , but the use of urethral catheters is still a matter for discussion. Herein, we described our experiences with the use of an unsutured latex foley catheter placed in the glans for 24 to 48 hours. METHODS: A retrospective chart review was performed on 38 @entity1 who underwent @entity4434 ( @entity4434 ) @entity2650 repair from 2009 to 2011. Of these, 35 @entity1 who had two-way latex Foley catheters placed for 24 h to 48 hands were followed for at least 12 month. RESULTS: Excellent cosmetic results were obtained in all @entity1 . @entity293 developed in two @entity1 (5.7%). one @entity1 (2.8%) who had mild urethral repair breakdown was repaired in the office environment. CONCLUSION: We observed very low complication rates in application of a two-way latex Foley catheter in @entity2650 surgery and found that this method can be used safely. Moreover, the catheter can be used for traction purposes during the procedure. At the end of the 24 to 48 h period, removal of the two-way latex urethral catheter with balloon does not harm the urethral repair. To reach a definite conclusion, larger studies are needed.
