Abstract
The reaction of the urethral mucosa to latex and Silastic catheters was compared in 2 groups of patients undergoing prostatectomy. The bacteriologic response in the 2 groups differed little; however, Silastic catheters produced less cellular reaction than latex catheters.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
