Genitalia was prepped and draped in the standard surgical fashion.
A 25-French 30 degree rigid cystoscope was passed into the urethra. There was
some bleeding noted in the prostatic urethra. The bladder was entered, there
was a large amount of blood clots in the bladder and diffuse oozing. A
28-French continuous flow resectoscope was passed into the bladder. Using a 24
French loop, blood clots were removed from the bladder piece by piece. Oozing was
partially controlled and any active bleeders in the bladder were also
cauterized. There is still some diffuse oozing from prostatic bed and from
the bladder surface. At the end of the procedure, there was no active arterial
bleed. A 0.038 Super Stiff wire was passed into the bladder through the
cystoscope. A 24-French 3-way Foley catheter was passed over the Super Stiff
wire, 15 mL of sterile water was placed in the Foley balloon. The bladder was
irrigated, several clots were irrigated out. Cystogram was performed and this
showed intact bladder. The patient was then transferred to the ICU with Foley
slight traction and CBI started.
