A member asked:
Do i need a urinary catheterization for appendectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not always: Depends on whether the appendix has perforated, if there is already peritonitis, if the diagnosis is clear or there are alternative diagnoses. There are also technical reasons, for instance the appendix can be very close to the bladder.
