Postoperative Urinary Retention

Abstract: Urinary retention is common after anesthesia and surgery, reported incidence of between 5% and 70%. Comorbidities, type of surgery, and type of anesthesia influence the development of postoperative urinary retention (POUR). The authors review the overall incidence and mechanisms of POUR associated with surgery, anesthesia and analgesia. Ultrasound has been shown to provide an accurate assessment of urinary bladder volume and a guide to the management of POUR. Recommendations for urinary catheterization in the … Show more

“…Urinary retention is the most common complication and its occurrence differs in various studies 4,8 . However, it has been reported between 5 to 70% in other prevalence studies 9 . The existence of completely different studies about the rate of urinary retention prevalence after surgery is because of different etiologies in this issue and lack of the same criteria for its evaluation.…”

“…The existence of completely different studies about the rate of urinary retention prevalence after surgery is because of different etiologies in this issue and lack of the same criteria for its evaluation. The most exact method for evaluating the amount of urine in the bladder is ultrasound; this can be a proper guidance for assessing the urinary retention after surgery 9 . Urinary retention after surgery is estimated by measuring if the quantity of urine retained is more than or equal to 200 ml by ultrasound 8 h after removing catheters 10,11 , or the remaining urine was estimated at 150 CC for patients who cannot empty their bladder 6 hours after removing the catheters 12 .…”

“…To minimize POUR risk, physician must be aware of preoperative risk factors such as age greater than 50 years, postoperative narcotic medications, concurrent neurologic diseases such as stroke, poliomyelitis, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, spinal lesions, and diabetic and alcoholic neuropathy and over 2 h anesthesia duration [28][29][30].…”
