I know that there are urologists at Craig Hospital in Denver Colorado that know all about SCI. That is where I had my suprapubic procedure done.

I would recommend trying to find a urologist who is familiar with quadriplegics, if that is possible. I am lucky that my urologist is very familiar with SCI. Maybe somebody on the list can provide you with a hospital where such a urologist might exist within a reasonable distance of where you live.

It is a small hole in your lower gut that goes directly into your bladder. Dan H.

Has anyone on the list had a superpubic after having a indwelling cath for a long period of time? Does the fact that my bladder is the size of a walnut make any difference. My urologist does not know the answer to this question, this doesn't surprise me, since he doesn't deal with many quads. Cullen No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
