The aim of this investigation is to determine whether patients with TEA<\/jats:styled-content> are able to recover the micturition process.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>On the morning after the surgery patients were randomised into two groups: the early removal group (ERG<\/jats:styled-content>) (n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009101), with the bladder catheter removed at the same time, and the standard group (SG<\/jats:styled-content>) (n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009104), where the bladder catheter was kept as long as TEA<\/jats:styled-content> was functioning (on average 3\u20135 days after surgery). Following the first micturition, patients underwent regular ultrasound scanning of the bladder until a post\u2010void residual (PVR<\/jats:styled-content>) less than 200\u2009ml was reached.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>All of the patients in the ERG<\/jats:styled-content> and in the SG<\/jats:styled-content> started to void and recovered satisfactorily their ability to void, reaching a PVR<\/jats:styled-content>\u2009<\u2009200\u2009ml without requiring a transurethral catheterisation. However, the length of time to reach a PVR<\/jats:styled-content>\u2009<\u2009200\u2009ml in the ERG<\/jats:styled-content> was significantly longer compared with the SG<\/jats:styled-content> (345\u2009min\u2009\u00b1\u2009169 vs. 207\u2009min\u2009\u00b1\u2009122, P<\/jats:italic>\u2009<\u20090.0001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusion<\/jats:title>In the presence of TEA<\/jats:styled-content>, the removal of the bladder catheter on the morning after surgery leads to a transient impairment of the lower urinary tract function with no need for re\u2010catheterisation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1399-6576.2012.02701.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,23]],"date-time":"2012-04-23T13:34:40Z","timestamp":1335188080000},"page":"1020-1025","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Early removal of urinary catheter leads to greater post\u2010void residuals in patients with thoracic epidural"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"56","author":[{"given":"C.","family":"ZAOUTER","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesia University of Pisa Pisa Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"WUETHRICH","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Department of Anaesthesiology and Pain Therapy Inselspital Berne Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"MICCOLI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Epidemiology and Biostatistics Unit's Research Department of Experimental Pathology M.B.I.E.
