OBJECTIVES: To describe the role of temporary retrograde ureteral catheterization at the time of fertility-sparing radical vaginal or abdominal trachelectomy in women with early-stage cervical cancer.

Catheterization. -Passing a small tube through the urethra into the bladder to draw out the urine.
Cervix. -The lower end of the uterus.
Cesarean birth. -Birth of a baby by an abdominal operation.

cardiac catheterization - a diagnostic procedure in which a tiny, hollow tube (catheter) is inserted into an artery or vein in order to evaluate the heart and blood vessels.

catheterization table in the supine position with proper restraints. Both groins were cleansed and draped in the usual sterile manner.

In labor, epidurals increase the need for oxytocin, instrumental delivery, episiotomy, and bladder catheterization. The first-time mother is more likely to have a cesarean.

The child may need an electrophysiologic study, such as a heart catheterization, to assess the properties of that extra (electrical) pathway, which can be treated with medications or ablated (destroyed) with catheterization.

Intrauterine Transfusion - Exchange transfusion of the fetus within the uterus by umbilical vein catheterization performed through the mother's abdominal wall under ultrasound guidance.

Increased likelihood of bladder catheterization, oxytocin administration, internal monitoring
Increased likelihood of operative (i.e. forceps, episiotomy, cesarean) delivery
Automatic blood pressure cuff throughout labor ...

The researchers also noted that between 1995 and 2009, there was a decrease in preoperative cardiac catheterization and in median hospital length of stay.
Surgical volume increased over the study period, though the use of ventriculotomy fell.

Children's also is expanding its interventional cardiac catheterization lab to take advantage of new ways to use catheters as therapeutic devices and is partnering with local biotechnology companies to develop novel approaches that optimize both ...

Loss of sensation can cause impairmant of the feeling to urinate. This can lead to urine retention and catheterization to relieve bladder pressure. Some studies indicate that labor also can be prolonged due to epidurals.

Often cornual blocks are due to the presence of mucus plugs and amorphous debris in the tubal lumen. Ultrasound guided tubal catheterization can effectively treat the blocked tubes in some of these patients.
