Continuous irrigation following TURP is accomplished by the use of a:

Option 1: Three-way catheter
Option 2: Fogarty catheter
Option 3: Malecot catheter
Option 4: Coude catheter

Answer 1

Continuous irrigation following TURP is accomplished by using a three-way catheter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Continuous irrigation following TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) is accomplished by the use of a three-way catheter. A three-way catheter has three channels: one for drainage of urine, one for inflation or deflation of a balloon at the tip of the catheter, and one for continuous irrigation of the bladder with a sterile solution.
