ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To assess the outcome of different forms of urinary drainage, particularly for urinary tract infection (UTI), operative findings and patient preference, in patients treated for acute urinary retention (AUR). PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
A feasibility trial was conducted of men presenting with AUR; after a short period of indwelling catheterization (IDC) patients were taught how to use clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC). Patients who failed this were re-catheterized and taught to manage a valve, or failing this a leg bag, and then discharged home. The patients were followed to assess the occurrence of spontaneous voiding, UTI, findings at prostatectomy and patient satisfaction.RESULTS:
The CISC group (34 men) had a higher rate of spontaneous voiding than the IDC group (16 men; 56% vs 25%). The incidence of UTI was 32% in the CISC and 75% in the IDC group. At TURP, 20% in the CISC group had a UTI, compared with 69% in the IDC group. Patients using CISC preferred it and had fewer complications than the IDC group. The CISC group had a similar ability to manage and similar acceptance of their method of drainage as the IDC group.CONCLUSION:
CISC is managed and accepted well by patients who can use the technique and results in fewer UTIs. It should be considered in patients who present with AUR, and it may delay surgery.
