Additionally, the types of catheters made of different materials, sizes, and shapes were identified, aiding in selecting the most appropriate catheters according to patient needs and clinical conditions. Moreover, the correct technique for placing the urinary catheter was explained in detail, considering anatomical differences between men and women, as this influences the presence of short- or long-term complications. Objective: To describe the complications that may appear from using urinary catheters. Methods: This study employed a qualitative descriptive design approach that included searching, reading, and analyzing research published between 2018 and 2023 in English and Spanish as part of the theoretical foundation of this research.

Conclusion: Various complications include urinary tract infections associated with catheter use, purple urine bag syndrome, presence of calculi, urinary catheter obstruction, urinary retention, decompression hematuria, iatrogenic injuries such as trauma and urethral stricture, bladder discomfort related to the catheter, urethral erosion, bladder neck dilation, and chronic inflation with the risk of cancer.
