Intravesical gentamicin has long been proven an effective option in the treatment of recurrent urinary tract infections, especially those caused by multidrug resistant microorganisms (1). It is well tolerated, local administration reduces systemic side effects (2, 3), use can be protocolised and it can be patient administered.  However use remains sporadic and there lacks a consensus regimen for administration. We set out to investigate the usage of this intravesical option and to draw on experts experience to determine whether a universal protocol could be constructed.
