Croup is a condition that develops quickly in children and is usually caused by a viral infection in the upper airways, which is localised in the throat and surrounding tissues. It's characterised by a barking cough. It's fairly uncommon and affects more boys than girls.
However, depending on the type of catheter you had installed (a urethral or a suprapubic catheter), you may still experience some catheter pain, especially in the case of an indwelling catheter that is expected to stay in your bladder for awhile â usually from a few days all the way up to forever.
Your anaesthetist (Gareth Greenslade) will discuss pain control with you before the operation. If pain has been a major symptom we will give you a Gabapentin pre-med. You will be able to eat and drink straight away. Catheters and drips are removed in theatre.s a laparoscopic (key hole) procedure, this operation is more cosmetic and less painful than open surgery (cut down the middle of the tummy). We use mesh as this seems to produce a more long lasting result.
