(5) When resection of the lesion is completed and bleeding controlled, the
operating instrument is removed. A Foley catheter is introduced. A catheter stylet may
be employed. The bag of the catheter is filled, using a 30-ml syringe and adapter. The
catheter may be a self-inflating type or have a valve that requires no clamp to retain the
fluid in the hemostatic bag. The catheter is flushed for patency, irrigating with an
Asepto syringe. When the surgeon is satisfied that the patient's condition is good, the
patient is transferred from the operating table.
