ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Bladder infusion, which involves filling the bladder with saline prior to catheter removal, has been associated with reduced time-to-discharge and increased success rates in trials without catheter (TWOCs) in perioperative setting. The objective of this study was to evaluate the applicability of this protocol in patients with acute urinary retention (AUR) related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).METHODS:
We conducted a retrospective single-center study comparing bladder infusion with at least 150mL of warm saline vs. standard catheter removal during TWOC in patients with BPH-related AUR between January and December 2021. The primary outcome was time to discharge. Secondary outcomes included TWOC success, and early recurrence of urinary retention defined as recurrence within three months of successful TWOC.RESULTS:
A total of 75 men were included 35 in the bladder infusion protocol and 40 in the standard protocol. Baseline characteristics were well balanced between groups. Overall, 35 patients (46.7%) had a successful TWOC without statistically significant difference between groups (P=0.10). Bladder infusion protocol was associated with a shorter median time to discharge (200 vs. 240min, P=0.003). However, patients in the bladder infusion group were associated with a higher risk of early recurrence of urinary retention (30% vs. 0%, P=0.02).CONCLUSION:
In patients with BPH-related AUR, the saline bladder infusion method reduced time-to-discharge with similar TWOC success rates. Larger studies are needed to properly analyze the risk of early recurrence of urinary retention before any clinical application. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.Palavras-chave
