Vaginal surgery of pelvic organ prolapse needs to insert urinary catheter for monitoring post-operative complication, hemodynamic status, and prevention post-operative urinary retention. Urinary retention occur 2.4 - 43% after pelvic organ prolapse surgery, whereas retaining urinary catheter is common cause of urinary tract infection, often hospital-acquired infection. At Rajavithi hospital always remove urinary catheter at 48 hour after surgery. Accordingly, appropriated time for removing urinary catheter in patients with vaginal surgery of pelvic organ prolapse is unclear. This study aims to reduce timing for removing urinary catheter after vaginal surgery, not increase urinary retention and re-catheterization and reduce urinary tract infection and day of hospital stay.
Comparison incident of urinary retention in patients with vaginal surgery of pelvic organ prolapse, who removed urinary catheter at 24 hours versus 48 hours after surgery
