A randomized controlled trial comparing short- versus long-term catheterization after uncomplicated vaginal prolapse surgery
Abstract
Aims: Routine catheterization following vaginal prolapse surgery has advantages like prevention of postoperative retention of urine and prevention of any adverse effect on surgical outcome. However, it increases the risk of urinary tract infection (UTI), prevent early ambulation and prolong hospital stay. This randomized controlled trial was done on how best to minimize catheter related complication after prolapse surgery. Methods: 200 patients planned for vaginal prolapse surgery were recruited and randomized into two groups. In group I and group II catheter was removed on 1 st and 4 th post operative day, respectively. After removal, if patient could not void or when residual urine volume exceeds 150 mL, recatheterisation was done for another three days. Sample of urine was sent for culture during catheter removal. Results: Age, parity, type of surgery and mean operation time did not differ significantly between the two groups. Mean duration of catheterization was significantly shorter (1.64 vs 4.09) and mean duration of hospital stay was shorter by 1.2 days, in first group. However a significantly higher number of retention of urine or residual urine more than 150 mL was found in the early removal group (OR 3.10) but lesser chance of development of urinary tract infection (OR 0.10). Conclusions: The early removal of catheter seems more advantageous, with lower incidence of urinary tract infection and a shorter hospital stay although associated with an increased risk of recatheterisation.

Two trials with a total of 277 women evaluated POP surgery with in-dwelling catheter removal at longer than 24 hours versus at 24 hours after surgery.
“POP surgery with in‐dwelling catheter removal at longer than 24 hours versus at 24 hours after surgery: two trials with a total of 277 women (Fernandez‐Gonzalez 2019; Kamilya 2010).”
From Perioperative interventions in pelvic organ prolapse surgery (2025) · cites this paper as Kamilya 2010
In women undergoing POP surgery, having an IDC for longer than 24 hours may lead to a greater total number of catheter days (MD 2.45, 95% CI 2.14 to 2.76; 1 study, 197 women; low-certainty evidence).
“Based on evidence from a single trial (Kamilya 2010), women with an IDC for longer than 24 hours may be more likely to have a greater total number of catheter days compared to the control group (MD 2.45, 95% CI 2.14 to 2.76; 1 study, 197 women; low‐certainty evidence; Analysis 3.4).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
