Effects of clean intermittent catheterization and transurethral indwelling catheterization on the management of urinary retention after gynecological surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Urinary retention is a common complication after gynecological surgery. Clean intermittent catheterization has been reported to have a lower incidence of urinary tract infections compared to transurethral indwelling catheterization. This study conducted a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to compare the effects of these two catheterization techniques after gynecological surgery.

Methods

We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, and Chinese Scientific Journal Database (VIP) for 227 articles comparing the effects of the above two catheterization methods on urinary tract infections and urethral function after gynecological surgery up to November 2022. Subsequently, the Co
