Healing of the urethral plate after deep incision: does catheterization change the course of this process?
We may say that tissue healing with a desired and complete re-epithelialization could be achieved without inserting a catheter. Prevention of re-approximation along with the limited urinary extravasations to the subepithelial area might be responsible for tissue protection that will limit the long-term aforementioned adverse effects of the procedure.
Sepsis impairs the healing of colonic anastomoses. However, sepsis does not impair the intestinal wound healing in splenectomized rats.
