5. Shorter VS Longer duration regarding UTI rate
7 out of 11 trials Fewer UTI reported in earlier removal groups.
UTI accounts for 40% of nosocomial infection

6. Clinical Question
P (patients)
• Women underwent gynecology (hysterectomy & prolapse) surgery
I (intervention)
• Urinary catheters removal at 24 hour Postoperative
C (comparison)
• Urinary catheters removal on day-5, day-4, day-2, 12 hours, 6 hours, 3
hours, and immediately after surgery.
O (objective)
• Postoperative urinary retention and urinary tract infection
Does 24 hour postoperative urinary catheters removal superior compared to other
duration to prevent postoperative urinary retention and urinary tract infection?

12. Earlier or later removal?
“Earlier Removal” :
• 3 to 4 times more likely to have recatheterization (OR = 3.10-4.0)
compared to later-removal groups
“later removal”
• They who have it removed on 5th day
were 14 times more likely to develop
UTI compared with immediate group
(OR = 14.786, 95% CI 3.187- 68.595).
13. Discussion
• Since the result from several trials remains
inconstant, Cochrane can be counted as the primary
consideration to create the policy in the hospital

14. Conclusion
24 hour catheterization policy in hysterectomy and vaginal
prolapse surgery remains most appropriate although
associated with an increased risk of re-catheterization.
The removal of catheter before 24 hour (6 or 12 hour) could
be considered to be used as one of interventions in further
RCT(s) to find out the best duration which would result in
lowest incidence in both of UTI and POUR.

Good afternoon. In this era of quality of life, patient safety and high-quality of care should become our priority. Therefore, I and dr Budi ImanSantoso performed a critical appraisal titled:
the incidence of POUR is ranging widely from 2.1-70%. The incidence would be affected by definition used, procedures and catheterization duration. We will put the patient at risk for irreversible dertusor muscle injury if we fail to detect the POUR earlier.
44 percent of woman with residual volume of > 500 ml, will be faced with bladder over-distension. It possibly lead to the dertrusor injury and other complication. All of these consequences will increase patient’s morbidity then affect the quality of life, So that urinary retention is an important issue.
2 important aspects in determining the duration are urinary retention AND UTI. Both of them will increase the patient morbidity. The duration usually based on providers’s habit, hospital policy, and surgeon preferences. Ideally it should be based on the highest level of evidence.
Cochrane Review had stated that fewer Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) reported when catheters were removed earlier in seven out of 11 trials.Catheter - associated UTI is an important factor to be considered in determining the duration because it accounts for 80% of hospital-acquired infections.16,17
We use appraisal questions developed by Makela, et al to appraise these trials. Eight questions for each trials have been answered to determine the total score.
We found 4articles of prolapse surgery and 4 articles of hysterectomy surgery. Trial conducted by Chai has the highest score for hysterectomy. While Kamilya, has the highest score for prolapse surgery.
The red box indicate the study conducted by Chai and colleagues. While the blue box indicate Kamilya’s study. There is no urinary retention in 24 hr group, however the UTI incidence is significantly higher compared to early removal groupIn vaginal prolapse surgery, 24 hr group has the lowest incidence of UTI. However, they are still at risk for re-catheterization.
