A suprapubic transabdominal needle aspiration is a medical procedure used to obtain fluid from the bladder or surrounding abdominal area through the abdominal wall. It involves inserting a needle, guided by imaging techniques like ultrasound, to collect urine or other fluids for diagnostic purposes, such as identifying infections or tumors. This minimally invasive technique is often performed when catheterization is not feasible or successful. It is typically done under sterile conditions to minimize the risk of infection.
