prostatic urethral mucosa had a normal appearance. There was no obstructing benign prostatic
hyperplasia, and the bladder neck was widely patent. The bladder was loaded with debris and the
cystoscopic exam was suboptimal. I was able to visualize had a normal appearance. Foley catheterization.
The patient needs better care at his facility. We will submit an order to irrigate the bladder weekly and as
needed thereafter. He will need to have monthly catheter exchanges. The patient is very disabled and looks
