Inserting catheter is not a comfortable procedure for a patient and it can feel as an invasion of privacy because it is done in area many times no one sees etc. Why some doctors do not ask a permission to do that nor ask do patient want a female or male to insert it?

Answer: Do I need a catheter during my procedure? Thank you for your question.The length of the procedure is what determines if a urinary catheter is inserted during the surgery. As a general rule, if the procedure will last longer than 3 hours it is a good idea to place a catheter. In most cases the catheter is place once you are under anesthesia in the privacy of the operating room.

Answer: Can a patient refuse insertion of urinary catheter for the duration of a facelift? = it depends. #facelift #necklift Facelift are usually long surgeries (about 5 hours) that requires insertion of foley cathethers to drain the urine during the procedure. If the urine is not drained and it accumulates, it could cause significant urinary problems secondary to the severe distention of the bladder with urine. Therefore, it is a medical standard to insert a urinary catheter (foley) when a surgical procedure lasts more than 3 horus. Asking for not inserting a foley catheter in the bladder to a doctor when medically necessary due to "privacy concerns" is like asking a doctor not to use stitches to close a facelift due to similar reasons ( so people "don't see the stitches")
