Objective: Urethral catheterization is often a major source of discomfort and pain to a patient after a surgical procedure. To better understand the safety and feasibility of the early removal of urethral Foley catheter after robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy by using percutaneous cystostomy drainage, we collected the related data and present our experience. Patients and methods: This study involved 20 patients. In the study group (10 patients), we used the percutaneous cystostomy device (PCD) and an 18 French urethral catheter together. The urethral catheter was removed at postoperative day (POD) 3 and the PCD was removed at POD 7. In the control group (10 patients), they had standard urethral catheterization with an 18 French catheter and the catheter was removed at POD 7. Demographic and outcome data were measured and analyzed. Urethral pain was recorded using the visual analog scale. Results: The two groups were comparable in terms of age, serum prostate specific antigen level, body mass index, clinical tumor stage, surgical duration, estimated blood loss, and surgical times. The study group had significantly less penile pain in POD 3 and POD 7 (mean visual analog scale: 0.9 vs. 2.2, p |
