The effect of clamping the urinary catheter before removal in cervical cancer patients
2016
Objective
To investigate the necessity of clamping the indwelling catheters before removal in patients with cervical cancer postoperatively.
Methods
A total of 198 cases of patients with cervical cancer after radical hysterectomy were divided into the study group (70 cases) and the control group (128 cases) randomly according to operation time. In the study group the catheters were clamped intermittently by patients 2 days before removal, while in the control group the catheters were removed without clamping. The rate of recatheterization, urinary tract infection, as well as the residual urinary volume were compared between groups.
Results
There were no significant differences in the rate of urinary tract infection and recatheterization between the two groups (P >0.05). The residual urinary volume was significantly higher in the study group than that in the control group (χ2=10.293, P=0.016).
Conclusions
There may be no positive effect of training the bladder function by clamping the indwelling catheters before its removal in patients after radical hysterectomy, besides, it can not change the risk of recatheterization and can increase the residual urine in the bladder 24 hours after removal of the catheter.
