The cleansing fluid is injected into the smaller tube and finds readyegress through the larger one. OPERATIONS ON THE BLADDER 569 wide mouth to permit of easy access of the nozzle of a large drainage tube permits of exit of the cleansing fluid soreadily that deleterious distention of the bladder becomes quiteinrpossible. Between the intervals of treatment the smaller cath-eter is clamped. The question of drainage of the bladder throughthe urethra as supplementary to suprapubic drainage may betaken up here. It may be said that, as a rule, suprapubic drain-age meets the indications. However, in some instances, espe-cially where the bladder is severely infected, there is no objectionto the additional use of dependent drainage. For this purpose theretention catheter shown in Figs. 354, 355 and 356 may be usedFig. 354 shows the mushroom retention catheter. The enlarge-
