The feasibility and advantages of immediate removal of urinary catheter after lobectomy: A prospective randomized trial.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and advantages of immediate urinary catheter removal compared with prolonged indwelling catheterization in lung cancer lobectomy.

Design

This study was designed as a prospective, single-centre, randomized and open-label clinical study.

Methods

People with lung cancer undergoing lobectomy/pneumonectomy were recruited and randomly allocated to two groups. One group had their urinary catheter removed immediately while the other group had it removed 48 hr after surgery.

Results

No significant difference in the incidence of postoperative urinary retention (POUR) was observed between the two groups. However, the incidence of postoperative catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) in the immediate removal group
