Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  1) Removal of urinary catheter post laparoscopic hysterectomy 6hours  Patients who will undergo Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), informed consent will be taken. Further randomization will be done and patients will be divided into two groups on the basis of time of Foleys removal i.e. early catheter removal (ECR) means catheter removal within 4hrs and Routine catheter removal (RCR) means catheter removal within 18-24hrs. Further we will notice that, if patient has voided urine within 6hrs of catheter removal. If the patient voided the urine within 6hrs of catheter removal then using Ultrasonography (USG) we will measure the postvoidal residual urine volume (PVRU) to see whether the voiding is partial or complete. If the PVRU is less than 100ml than it means that voiding is complete and patient is fit for discharge and if PVRU is between 100-500ml than there is only partial voiding and we have to further wait for 3hrs- following USG we will measure PRVU again and if there is complete voiding of urine we will discharge the patient after urine routine examination and culture sensitivity. If there is partial voiding of urine we will recatheterize the patient. If patient has not voided urine within 6hrs of catheter removal then using Ultrasonography bladder scan will done and PVRU will be measured. If the PVRU volume is more than 500ml than we will recatheterize the patient for 24hrs. Also before discharging patients we will do a routine urine examination and culture sensitivity test.

Brief Summary  

During Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), standard care is to place an indwelling catheter, usually self-retaining, during surgery to avoid iatrogenic injuries of the bladder, monitor urinary output and check for hematuria.

Time of removal of this catheter in uncomplicated cases is usually after 24 hours. There is limited guidelines for catheter removal post-TLH.

According to Cochrane review (2008), catheter placement should only be as long as required, as prolonged catheterization is associated with urinary tract infections, delayed mobilization of patients and longer time to discharge increasing unnecessary hospital stay. Patients too have discomfort while on catheter.

If ECR outcomes are found to be similar or better than RCR, patients maybe discharged earlier reducing hospital stay and well-being.

Problem Statement/ Rationale: early removal of the catheter may overcome all these issues but also have been associated with higher urinary retention rates and re-catheterization. However, many centers have now started daycare hysterectomy requiring immediate or early removal of catheter but evidence for this is limited.

 

Novelty: With this in mind, we intend to evaluate if early catheter removal (ECR- <4 hours) after TLH was associated with similar or better outcomes compared with routine catheter removal (RCR- >24hrs) through this study, it proves its Originality.

 

Research Question:  To see voiding difficulty after early vs delayed removal of urinary catheters.

Research Hypothesis: The study is based on the assumption that ECR has similar/better outcomes than RCR
