The in\u2010dwelling catheter was removed immediately (group A), at 6 hr (group B), or at 12 hr (group C) after the operation. The association between clinical variables and the length of catheterization was assessed by Chi\u2010square analysis.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic> Recatheterization occurred in six patients (18.8%) of group A, all after VH under spinal anesthesia. All patients in the groups B and C could spontaneously void the bladder after catheter removal. Symptomatic urinary tract infection occurred in one patient in group A, compared with four patients in group B, and five in group C. The mean time to ambulation was 4.3 hr in group A, 6.5 hr in group B, and 9.4 hr in group C. Patients with immediate removal of urinary catheter had a shorter hospital stay.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic> There could be an association between necessity of recatheterization and the type of surgery (VH) or the type of anesthesia (spinal). Despite recatheterization rate, early removal of in\u2010dwelling catheters immediately after uncomplicated hysterectomy seems to decrease first ambulation time and hospital stay.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/00016340600606976","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,12,8]],"date-time":"2009-12-08T17:34:49Z","timestamp":1260293689000},"page":"716-720","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["A prospective, randomized trial comparing immediate versus delayed catheter removal following hysterectomy"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"85","author":[{"given":"Franco","family":"Alessandri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emanuela","family":"Mistrangelo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Davide","family":"Lijoi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simone","family":"Ferrero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicola","family":"Ragni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","first-page":"147","volume-title":"Postoperative care: hysterectomy","author":"Hurt WG","year":"1993"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1464-410X.1997.t01-1-00376.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5347(17)55596-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0020-7292(03)00144-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","first-page":"477","volume-title":"Urinary tract infections","author":"Stamm WE","year":"1998"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ni\u00ebl\u2010WeiseBS van den BroekPJ.Urinary catheter policies for short\u2010term management of voiding in hospitalised adults.Cochrane Database Syst Rev2004; (1):CD004203","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD004203"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1479-6988.2003.00001.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9378(94)70358-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/S0002-9378(03)00496-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00464-003-8202-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","first-page":"663","article-title":"Patient\u2010controlled analgesia and postoperative urinary retention after hysterectomy for benign disease","volume":"179","author":"Petros JG","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Am Coll Surg"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/bja\/aeh099"}],"container-title":["Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1080%2F00016340600606976","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1080\/00016340600606976","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,15]],"date-time":"2023-10-15T12:27:52Z","timestamp":1697372872000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1080\/00016340600606976"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2006,6]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2006,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1080\/00016340600606976"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/00016340600606976","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0001-6349","1600-0412"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0001-6349","type":"print"},{"value":"1600-0412","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2006,6]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2010-12-31","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
