Abstrakt: Introduction: The aim of the study was to detect the relationship between routine urinary catheterization and postoperative urinary symptoms and urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women undergoing elective caesarean sections (ECSs).
Material and Methods: One hundred women undergoing ECSs were included in this observational study and randomized into a catheterized (C) group, including women who underwent ECS after insertion of indwelling Foley's catheter, and a non-catheterized (NC) group, including women who underwent ECS without Foley's catheter. The Foley's catheters were removed from all participants in the C group once they were freely ambulant and had recovered from the effect of the spinal anaesthesia. Participants were asked about any abnormal postoperative urinary symptoms (dysuria, frequency, urgency, and/or urinary retention), and to collect urine samples (mid-stream) once they were freely ambulant for urine cultures.
Results: The postoperative dysuria, frequency, and urgency were significantly higher in the C group compared to the NC group [36% (18/50), 40% (20/50), and 34% (17/50) vs. 8% (4/50), 6% (3/50), and 6% (3/50), respectively], ( p = 0.006, 0.001 and 0.004, respectively). The urinary tract infections and the postoperative antimicrobials used were significantly higher in the C group compared to the NC group [40% (20/50) and 40% (20/50) vs. 6% (3/50) and 6% (3/50), respectively], ( p = 0.001 and 0.001, respectively). The postoperative hospital-stay after the ECSs was significantly higher in the C group compared to the NC group (5.4 ±1.8 days vs. 3.8 ±1.15, respectively), ( p = 0.001).
Conclusions: Routine urinary catheterizations in women undergoing ECS significantly increase the odds of postoperative dysuria, frequency, urgency, UTIs, and the postoperative antimicrobials used.
