Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is a well known complication of fast-track total hip (THA) and knee arthroplasty (TKA), and even though medical options have been attempted, bladder catheterisation remains the only well-documented capacity to prevent and / or treat POUR.~It was previously standard to use fixed urinary catheter (KAD), the first 24-48 hours postoperatively to prevent POUR by THA and TKA, while more recent studies now recommend intermittent urinary catheterization in the postoperative period.~However, there are no detailed studies with adequate follow-up, describing the consequences of using either one or the other treatment regimen of POUR by fast-track THA and TKA.~Purpose:~To describe the need for re-catheterization and incidence of urological complications of routine use of perioperative fixed urinary catheter (KAD,catheter a demure) for up to 24 hours of fast-track THA and TKA~End Points:~The number of patients in need of re-catheterization due POUR~The number of patients in which the removal of KAD was not carried out within 24 hours.~The number of urinary tract infections from surgery to postoperative day (POD) 30~The number of patients with new-onset urinary discomfort at POD 30 (Increase in IPSS score).~The number of urological-related readmissions (including urosepsis) within POD 30
To describe the need for re-catheterization and incidence of urological complications of routine use of perioperative fixed urinary catheter (KAD) for up to 24 hours of fast-track THA and TKA
