title: [Can bladder catheterization in pediatrics cause complications? The case of a urethral dysuria cystograph].
abstract: A urethral dysuria cystograph (CUMS (Cistografia Ureteral Miccional Seriada)) is the first diagnostic procedure, by means of x-rays, to evaluate bladder-urethral reflux. It consists of a bladder catheter to administer a radiopaque contrast dye through the ureter. To use the aforementioned technique without any asepsis measures and without knowledge about it can lead to possible complications. By means of a retrospective study using a sample of 181 patients, the authors have evaluated the incidence of possible complications and/or subsequent discomfort due to a urethral dysuria cystograph (CUMS). As final results, by means of an after test telephone call, the authors observed that 96.7% of the children who underwent this technique did not manifest any type of complication nor urinary discomfort.
