Abstract

Objective: To compare early versus late catheter removal after Transurethral resection of prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia in terms of postoperative complications.

Study Design: Cross sectional Study.

Place and Duration of Study: Urology Department, Armed Forces Institute of Urology, Rawalpindi Pakistan from Jan 2022 to Aug 2022.

Methodology: A total of 100 patients undergoing monopolar Transurethral resection of prostate fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included in study after written informed consent. They were randomized in two equal Groups (50 patients each) by lottery method, Group A-catheter removed on day 2 and Group B-catheter removed on day 5, postoperative complications including urinary retention, hematuria, urinary tract infection and urethral stricture were recorded on proforma.

Results: Both Groups had no statistically difference in demographic profile. In Group-A, 4(8%) patients had urinary retention and in Group-B, 3(6%) patients had urinary retention (p-value 0.438). The number of patients that had UTI in Group A and Group B were 1(2%) and 7(14%) respectively which was statistically significant (p<0.001). However, hematuria, urethral stricture and epididymo-orchitis were not statistically significant among Groups with p-values of 1.00, 0.24 and 0.36 respectively.

Conclusion: Early catheter removal after Transurethral resection of prostate resulted in decreased urinary tract infection rate as compared to delayed catheter removal without any other significant postoperative complications.
