Risk of postoperative urinary retention after sugammadex use in laparoscopic hernia repair: A matched cohort study of 23,444 cases.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to determine whether sugammadex use is associated with lower postoperative urinary retention (POUR) incidence than neostigmine-glycopyrrolate reversal in patients undergoing laparoscopic hernia repair.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study used the TriNetX research network database to analyze adult patients who underwent laparoscopic hernia repair. Patients receiving rocuronium/vecuronium were divided into sugammadex (n = 92,543) or neostigmine-glycopyrrolate (n = 11,723) reversal groups. After 1:1 propensity score matching, 11,722 matched pairs were analyzed. The primary outcome was POUR within 30 days. The secondary outcomes included pneumonia, hospital readmission, and emergency department (ED) visits. Subgroup analyses were used to examine the
