Early Removal of the Urethral Catheter Following Trans-urethral Resection of Prostate

Overview

Transurethral resection of prostate is the gold standard operation for bladder outflow obstruction due to benign prostatic enlargement. However, catheter removal day is variable. The objective of this study is to compare early and delayed catheter removal groups in terms of, urinary retention after catheter removal, length of hospital stay, weight of resected prostate, duration of resection, peri-operative blood transfusion, and postoperative complications.

This randomized controlled trial will carried out in Urology clinic at Jordan university hospital. Patients with benign prostate hyperplasia will be selected by simple random sampling technique after taking informed consent and will divided into two groups: Group A- early catheter removal group( catheter removed after 24 hours) and Group B-delayed catheter removal group ( catheter removed after 48 hours). in this study we will exclude patients with large post-void urine volume, simultaneous internal urethrotomy and transurethral resection of prostate, co-morbidity( diabetes mellitus, CVA) spinal cord injury, urethral stricture, prostate cancer proved by biopsy and intra-operative complications. Patients will discharged after removal of catheter if they voided successfully.
