Post-herniorrhaphy urinary retention: A randomized prospective study

Urinary retention following endoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernioplasty

“…Fluid restriction during operation is the most widely adopted strategy to reduce the incidence of urinary retention [2,4,12]. Kozol et al [12] reported a reduction in the incidence of urinary retention in patients who had intraoperative¯uid administration of <1 L. In the present study, the average intraoperative¯uid load was 1.5 L. Future restriction of perioperative¯uid administration to £1 L may reduce the incidence of urinary retention after TEP.…”

“…Urinary retention has been a frequent complication after open inguinal hernia repair, with a reported incidence ranging from 0.2% to 25% [5,6,12,17]. For TEP, the corresponding incidence of urinary retention varies from 1.5% to 4.2% (Table 3) [1,11,15,20,21].…”

Postherniorrhaphy urinary retention—effect of local, regional, and general anesthesia: A review☆

“…[2][3][4] As a result of the deleterious effects of RA and GA on bladder function, various attempts at reducing UR have been made. These include prediction 8,9 and prevention with the use of ultrasound monitoring of bladder volume, 10 restrictive fluid regimens, 9,11,12 ␣-adrenoceptor blockade, 13,14 and spinal anesthesia with short-acting local anesthetics. 2 However, these studies were not included in the analysis and are too small to modify the conclusion from our review that GA and RA have been associated with the highest risk of UR.…”

Patient-related risk factors for urinary retention following ambulatory general surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…For the purpose of the analysis it was considered that these two groups were indistinct and they were pooled under the term 'LUTS'. The six studies 8,36,37,[40][41][42] (3821 patients) demonstrated that a history of LUTS significantly increased the risk of POUR with a summary OR of 2.83 (figure 5, 95% CI 1.57-5.08, p=<0.001).…”
