In the indwelling urinary catheterization (IUC), urinary leakage may develop around the catheter in the following days of catheterization. The volume and type of fluid used to inflate the catheter balloon has the potential to be a factor in the development of this problem. In this study, the investigators aimed to investigate the effect of the type and amount of fluid used in inflating the silicone foley catheter balloon on the development of urinary leakage around the catheter. In addition to purpose, the following questions were answered to determine the optimal solution type and volume in inflating the balloon: * What was the incidence of urinary leakage in IUC? * Was there a relationship between catheterization time and urine leakage? * Was there a relationship between the type of fluid used to inflate the foley catheter balloon and urine leakage? * Was there a relationship between the amount of fluid used to inflate the foley catheter balloon and urine leakage?
