Rocamed Urethral Device (RUD) and Urinary Retention in Males

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Urinary Retention
Interventions
Device: Exime is the name of the single use temporary prostatic stent used instead of the Foley catheter
Registration Number
NCT04218942
Lead Sponsor
Hospices Civils de Lyon
Brief Summary

Prospective non randomized study of the feasibility of the insertion of Rocamed urethral device by hand manipulation, i.e., without use of cystoscopy, sonography or fluoroscopy. Patients with an acute urinary retention treated by Foley catheterization in the Emergency department have a few days later a trial of Foley removal in the ambulatory unit of the Urology department. In case of failure of the Foley removal trial, i.e., recurrence of urinary retention, patients will be proposed either the insertion of a new Foley or insertion of the urethral device. After signature of an informed consent, insertion of the urethral device will be performed after instillation in the urethra of a local anesthetic gel. Device insertion success rate and complications will be studied. The device will be left in place for one month. Tolerance and complications during the month with the device in place will be studied. At one month the device will be removed: the ease of retrieval of the device and complications will be studied. Patient and doctor satisfaction with the urethral device will be compared to patient and doctor satisfaction with the Foley.
