Catheterization

Catheterization is a common medical procedure used to introduce a small, flexible tube into a body cavity, vessel, or duct. It is often used to access the urinary tract and perform diagnostic or therapeutic procedures such as sampling tissue or delivering medication. Catheterization can also be used for procedures such as angiography, cardiac stress tests, and dialysis. The procedure is generally minimally invasive, safe, and has a wide range of applications in medicine. It can help diagnose and treat various medical conditions, reducing the number of surgeries required.
