Early Removal of the Urethral Catheter Following Trans-urethral Resection of Prostate
Early Removal of the Urethral Catheter Following Trans-urethral Resection of Prostate
Transurethral resection of prostate is the gold standard operation for bladder outflow
 obstruction due to benign prostatic enlargement. However, catheter removal day is variable.
 The objective of this study is to compare early and delayed catheter removal groups in terms
 of, urinary retention after catheter removal, length of hospital stay, weight of resected
 prostate, duration of resection, peri-operative blood transfusion, and postoperative
 complications.
This randomized controlled trial will carried out in Urology clinic at Jordan university
 hospital. Patients with benign prostate hyperplasia will be selected by simple random
 sampling technique after taking informed consent and will divided into two groups: Group A-
 early catheter removal group( catheter removed after 24 hours) and Group B-delayed catheter
 removal group ( catheter removed after 48 hours). in this study we will exclude patients with
 large post-void urine volume, simultaneous internal urethrotomy and transurethral resection
 of prostate, co-morbidity( diabetes mellitus, CVA) spinal cord injury, urethral stricture,
 prostate cancer proved by biopsy and intra-operative complications. Patients will discharged
 after removal of catheter if they voided successfully.
Inclusion Criteria:

 - All men with benign prostate hyperplasia who planned to undergo TURP will be included in
 this study.

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Large post void residual urine.

 -  Simultaneous internal urethrotomy and TURP.

 -  Uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus (DM).

 -  Cerebrovascular accident accident (CVA).

 -  Spinal cord injury.
