    A suprapubic catheter is inserted through the abdomen into the bladder to drain urine when urethral diversion is needed due to conditions like urethral stricture or trauma, or after gynecologic or urethral surgery. It has advantages over urethral catheters in preventing urethral complications and increasing comfort by separating urinary and genital functions. Nurses must properly care for and monitor suprapubic catheters by inspecting the site, ensuring proper drainage, and watching for signs of infection or other complications.
