title: [The suturing of the bladder as a factor affecting urinary infection].
abstract: Problems relating to suture of the urinary bladder wall are discussed against the background of experimental and clinical studies on ten laboratory animals (pigs) and a series of urological patients subjected to bladder operation. The somewhat different technique of the bladder-wall suture employed is characterized by features such as being anatomically justified, atraumatic and antibacterially reasonable. The simple and readily performed suture of the bladder wall, and the positive experimental and clinical results attained are a prerequisite for practical implementation in the routine clinical practice of this type of bladder suture. Early removal of the catheter from the urinary bladder reduces the hazards of urinary tract and wound infection.
