Abstract

Introduction and hypothesis

For prolonged catheterization after vaginal prolapse surgery with anterior colporrhaphy, the optimal duration to prevent overdistention of the bladder remains unknown. We designed this study to determine the optimal length of catheterization.

Methods

We conducted a prospective randomized trial in which 179 women were allocated to 1-day or 3-day suprapubic catheterization. The primary outcome was the duration of catheterization.

Results

Mean duration of catheterization and hospital stay was significantly shorter in the 1-day catheterization group. The number of successful voiding trials was higher in the 3-day catheterization group (90.9% versus 79.3%), but this did not reach statistical significance. The percentage of urinary tract infection did not differ significantly between the groups (4.5% versus 2.4%).

Conclusion

Starting a voiding trial 1 day after vaginal prolapse surgery leads to shorter duration of catheterization and hospital stay.
