Pdf Summary

This study aimed to determine the preferred method for catheterization in the management of voiding dysfunction after pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery. The study included 150 patients undergoing POP surgery and collected data on patient demographics, surgery details, and catheter choice. Patients were given information on different catheter types and asked to choose their preferred option. <br /><br />The study found that postoperative voiding dysfunction and elevated post void residual measurements are common complications after POP surgery. Patients can choose between clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC), transurethral indwelling catheterization (TIC), or a suprapubic tube (SPT) for bladder drainage. <br /><br />The results showed that patients preferred SPT over CISC and TIC for managing voiding dysfunction after POP surgery. Patient preference plays an important role in decision-making and can help guide clinical approach. <br /><br />The study also found that catheter choice did not impact the length of hospital stay or duration of catheter use. However, patients who chose SPT showed higher satisfaction rates and lower rates of urinary tract infections compared to those who chose CISC and TIC. <br /><br />Overall, the study highlights the importance of considering patient preferences and quality of life when managing postoperative voiding dysfunction. Future research should investigate surgeon and nursing catheter preferences, as well as cost-utility assessments for different catheter types. <br /><br />In conclusion, patient preference for SPT was found to be the preferred method for managing voiding dysfunction after POP surgery. This information can be used to inform clinical decision-making and improve patient satisfaction and outcomes.
