RESUMEN
IMPORTANCE: Acute postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is common after pelvic reconstructive surgery, occurring in 15-45% of women. There is a paucity of data on the relationship between frailty and POUR after prolapse surgery. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine the association between frailty and POUR in older women who underwent pelvic organ prolapse surgery. STUDY DESIGN: This secondary analysis of a prospective study of postoperative delirium enrolled women 60 years and older undergoing prolapse surgery. The Fried Frailty Index was used to assess frailty before surgery. Acute POUR was defined as failure to pass a retrograde voiding trial at hospital discharge with postvoid residual volume of greater than 100 mL. RESULTS: Analyses included 165 women, with a mean ± SD age of 72.5 ± 6.1 years and a body mass index of 28.0 ± 4.4 kg/m2. There were 49 laparoscopic/robotic apical suspension procedures (29.7%), 60 vaginal obliterative procedures (36.4%), 47 vaginal apical suspension procedures (28.5%), and 9 isolated anterior and/or posterior colporrhaphies (5.5%), of which 9 had a concomitant incontinence procedure. Seventy-eight women (47.3%) experienced acute POUR. Thirty-one (18.8%) met the criteria for "not frail," 115 (88.5%) were "prefrail," and 19 (11.5%) were "frail." Neither frailty status nor score was associated with POUR. In an analysis of individual Fried Frailty Index components, self-reported unintentional weight loss was significantly associated with POUR (odds ratio, 4.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.23-17.15). This remained significant on multivariable logistic regression (adjusted odds ratio, 4.06; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-16.39). CONCLUSIONS: Frailty was not associated with POUR in older women undergoing prolapse surgery. The observed association between POUR and unintended weight loss before surgery warrants further investigation.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the frequency of urinary complaints, bladder globe, and need for bladder relief catheterization according to ultrasound; to investigate the relationship between the urinary volume estimated by ultrasound and the one drained in catheterization; and to describe the relationship of patient's complaints and detection of bladder globe with the diagnosis of urinary retention. METHOD: A cross-sectional study with clinical patients with suspected urinary retention in a tertiary hospital, conducted from February to September 2018. Urinary volume ≥500 mL in ultrasound was considered urinary retention. RESULTS: Two hundred and five evaluations were performed in 44 patients. Urinary retention was detected by ultrasound in 33.2% of the evaluations. There was a strong correlation between ultrasound and bladder catheterization. There was a higher frequency of identification of bladder globe in urinary volumes ≥300 mL. CONCLUSION: The incidence of urinary retention was higher when ultrasound was used for the diagnosis, when compared to patient's complaint and physical examination. Ultrasound showed to be accurate in establishing urinary volume.

BACKGROUND: The removal of an indwelling urinary catheter is indicated as soon as possible to prevent complications. However, acute urinary retention is little studied among intensive care patients. AIMS: The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and risk factors for acute urinary retention after the removal of an indwelling urinary catheter in critically ill patients. DESIGN: This single-centre prospective study included adult critically ill adult surgical and medical patients. METHODS: All patients had an indwelling catheter for more than 48 h and indication of its removal by the attending physician. Acute urinary retention was defined as a bladder volume greater than 400 mL determined by ultrasound or intermittent urinary catheterization. A multivariate logistic regression was performed to analyse the possible risk factors for acute urinary retention. RESULTS: We included 85 patients from July 2014 to May 2015, most of them surgical (71·8%). Acute urinary retention occurred in 26 patients (30·6%). The use of hypnotics (midazolam or propofol given as continuous infusion) [OR 14·87 (95% CI 1·32-167·79); p = 0·029], indwelling catheterization for more than 7 days [OR 9·87 (95% CI 2·97-32·85); p < 0·001] and bed restraint [OR 9·43 (95% CI 1·07 to 83·33); p = 0·043] were all independent risk factors for acute urinary retention. CONCLUSION: The incidence of acute urinary retention is high, and the main risk factors for its occurrence are prolonged use of urinary indwelling catheter, bed confinement and the use of hypnotics. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Patients with risk factors should be kept under surveillance after the removal of indwelling urinary catheter for early identification of acute urinary retention and thus prevention of related complications.

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The midurethral sling is the most commonly performed surgical procedure for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). We compared the efficacy of transobturator tape (TOT) and retropubic (RP) slings by evaluating objective and subjective cure rates at 12 months postsurgery and evaluate the impact on quality of life (QoL) and record intra- and postoperative complications. METHODS: This was a randomized, controlled, prospective, clinical trial with analysis of noninferiority. The hypothesis was that the TOT sling is not inferior to the RP sling. A total of 92 women with SUI were selected and randomized into two groups: TOT and RP slings. RESULTS: Eighty-one patients maintained follow-up 12 months postoperatively. In the per-protocol analysis, the objective cure rates were 100% for the RP sling and 93% for the TOT sling (p = 0.029). The subjective cure rates were 92% for the RP sling and 90% for the TOT sling (p = 0.02). Because none of the upper limits of the confidence interval (CI) were above the noninferiority margin, noninferiority of the TOT sling could be concluded. In contrast, the intention-to-treat analysis could not show that the TOT sling was not inferior to the RP sling, because the upper limit of the CI surpassed the noninferiority margin. Postoperative complications were similar for both groups, except for higher urinary retention rates in the RP group. Regarding QoL, there was a significant improvement. CONCLUSIONS: The cure rates of the per-protocol analysis showed the noninferiority of the TOT relative to the RP sling. The RP sling group exhibited higher urinary retention. Quality of life improved significantly in both groups.

AIMS: Recently, nerve-sparing (NS) techniques have been incorporated in surgeries for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) to prevent urinary complications. Our aim was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the risk of urinary retention after NS surgery for DIE compared with classical (non-NS) techniques. METHODS: Following the MOOSE guidelines for systematic reviews of observational studies, data were collected from published research articles that compared NS techniques with non-NS techniques in DIE surgery, with regard to post-operative urinary complications. INCLUSION CRITERIA: randomized clinical trials, intervention or observational (cohort and case-control) studies assessing women who underwent surgery for painful DIE. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: cancer surgery and women submitted to bladder or ureteral resections. The respective relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were extracted and a forest plot was generated to show individual and combined estimates. RESULTS: Preliminarily, 1,270 potentially relevant studies were identified from which four studies were selected. A meta-analysis was performed to assess the risk of urinary retention at discharge and 90 days after surgery. We found a common RR of 0.19 [95%CI: 0.03-1.17; (I2 = 50.20%; P = 0.09)] for need of self-catheterization at discharge in the NS group in relation to the conventional technique. Based on two studies, common RR for persistent urinary retention (after 90 days) was 0.16 [95%CI: 0.03-0.84]. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest significant advantages of the NS technique when considering the RR of persistent urinary retention. Controlled studies evaluating the best approach to manage the urinary tract after complex surgery for DIE are needed. Neurourol. Urodynam. 36:57-61, 2017. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective case series. OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this study were to (1) determine the rate of postoperative urinary retention (POUR) in a series of patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery, (2) compare length of hospital stay between patients who developed POUR and patients who did not, and (3) identify the patient and surgical factors associated with the development of POUR. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Although POUR is a common complication in many surgical subspecialties, sparse literature is present regarding development of POUR after posterior lumbar surgical procedures. METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted of all posterior lumbar surgery cases performed at single institute from July 2008 to July 2012. Data collected included demographic variables (age, sex, body mass index), length of stay, comorbid medical conditions, and surgical data. The Wilcoxon rank sum test with continuity correction was used to compare length of hospital stay between patients who developed POUR and patients who did not. A multivariate logistic regression model was created using all patient and surgical factors and systematically pruned of variables not improving overall predictive power. RESULTS: A total of 647 patients (291 decompression, 356 decompression and fusion) were included in the study. Of 647 patients, 36 had urinary retention after lumbar spine surgery (5.6%). Patients who developed POUR had a longer length of stay than patients who did not develop POUR (3.94 d vs. 2.34 d; P=0.005). Male sex, benign prostatic hyperplasia, age, diabetes, and depression were significantly associated with development of POUR (odds ratio=3.05, 9.82, 1.04, 3.32, and 2.51, respectively). Smoking was inversely associated with the development of POUR (odds ratio=0.45). CONCLUSION: The risk of developing POUR after posterior lumbar spine surgery is approximately 5%. Male sex, benign prostatic hyperplasia, age, diabetes, and depression were significantly associated with the POUR group. Patients who developed POUR had a greater length of hospital stay. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to identify risk factors for postpartum urinary retention (PPUR) after cesarean delivery (CD). METHODS: A case-control study design was used. Cases of PPUR after CD were identified using billing codes for CD and "urinary retention" and confirmed by chart review. Matched controls were identified in a 2:1 ratio using an obstetrics database and billing data. Patient demographics, operative, and anesthetic data were collected. Fisher exact tests and Wilcoxon rank sum tests were used to determine differences in medical risk factors, postoperative analgesic use, and catheter management between cases and controls. A modified Poisson conditional multivariate regression with robust error variances was used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) for significant predictors. RESULTS: Thirty-four confirmed cases of PPUR were matched with 68 controls. The mean ages of cases and controls were 31 and 32 years, respectively. Cases and controls differed in gestational age (P = 0.01), diagnosis of diabetes (P = 0.05), and use of postoperative intravenous and oral narcotics (P < 0.01 and P = 0.03, respectively). In a multivariate model including these factors, increasing gestational age was associated with decreased risk of PPUR [OR, 0.07; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.01-0.48; P < 0.01], whereas use of postoperative intravenous narcotics (OR, 4.51; 95% CI, 1.09-18.67; P = 0.038) and oral narcotics (OR, 4.99; 95% CI, 1.10-22.65; P = 0.037) were associated with increased risk. CONCLUSIONS: After matching for obstetric factors, use of postoperative narcotic analgesia was associated with increased risk of PPUR. Other operative and anesthetic factors had no association. Multicenter prospective studies are needed to investigate this association.

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Retenção urinária é uma condição frequente na sala de recuperação pós-anestésica (SRPA). Sobredistensão vesical e consequente lesão do detrusor da bexiga são situações passíveis de prevenção. A ultrassonografia permite medida confiável do volume urinário, determinando a prevalência da distensão vesical pós-operatória. Este estudo teve como objetivo determinar a prevalência de retenção urinária pós-operatória e identificar fatores independentes de previsão de sua ocorrência. MÉTODO: Prospectivamente, foram incluídos no estudo 257 pacientes admitidos na SRPA. As variáveis coletadas incluíram: idade, sexo, estado físico, local da cirurgia, tipo de anestesia, tempos cirúrgico e anestésico, uso ou não de opioides, volume de fluidos administrados, história prévia de sintomas urinários. Medidas do volume vesical foram feitas, por ultrassonografia, na admissão e na alta da SRPA. O critério para caracterizar retenção urinária foi: volume vesical igual ou maior que 600 mL, associado à incapacidade de micção espontânea 30 minutos após o diagnóstico. Análises univariadas e multivariadas foram utilizadas para identificar os fatores preditivos independentes. RESULTADOS: Ocorreu retenção urinária em 19 pacientes (7,39 por cento). Os fatores preditivos independentes identificados foram o volume urinário igual ou maior que 360 mL na admissão à SRPA (Qui-quadrado de Mantel-Haenszel (1 gl) = 18,76; p < 0,01), com razão de chances de 9,82 (intervalo de confiança 95 por cento = 3,26 29,55) e as cirurgias sobre os membros inferiores (Qui-quadrado de Mantel-Haenszel (1 gl) = 5,33; p = 0,02), com razão de chances de 4,33 (intervalo de confiança 95 por cento = 1,34 14,02). CONCLUSÕES: dada a prevalência da retenção urinária, sugere-se avaliação sistemática do volume urinário na SRPA, par ticular mente naqueles portadores de fatores preditivos.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Urinary retention is a common condition in the post-anesthetic care unit (PACU). Vesical overdistension and consequent damage of the detrusor muscle of the urinary bladder represent situations that can be prevented. The ultrasound allows the reliable measurement of the urinary volume, determining the prevalence of postoperative vesical distension. The objective of the present study was to determine the prevalence of postoperative urinary retention and identify independent predictive factors. METHODS: Two-hundred and fifty-seven patients admitted to the PACU were included prospectively in this study. Parameters collected included: age, gender, physical status, site of surgery, type of anesthesia, time of the surgery and anesthesia, use of opioids, volume of fluids administered, and history of urinary symptoms. Vesical volumes were measured by ultrasound after admission and upon discharge from the PACU. The criteria to characterize urinary retention were: vesical volume equal or higher than 600 mL associated with incapacity of spontaneous micturition for 30 minutes after the diagnosis. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to indentify independent predictive factors. RESULTS: Urinary retention was observed in 19 patients (7.39 percent), independent predictive factors identified included urinary volume equal to or greater than 360 mL upon admission to the PACU (Mantel-Haenszel Chi-square test (1 dF) = 18.76; p < 0.01), with an odds ratio of 9.82 (95 percent confidence interval = 3.26-29.55) and surgeries of the lower limbs (Mantel-Haenszel Chi-square test (1 dF) = 5.33; p = 0.02), with odds ratio of 4.33 (95 percent confidence interval = 1.34-14.02). CONCLUSIONS: Due to the prevalence of urinary retention, we suggest that a systematic evaluation of the urinary volume at the PACU should be done, especially in those patients with predictive factors.

Introducción: Estimar la prevalencia de retención urinaria aguda en el Programa de Cirugía mayor ambulatoria con anestesia espinal, e identificar los principales factores de riesgo para su desarrollo. Material y método: Estudio descriptivo de casos y controles. De 859 pacientes operados en programa de cirugía mayor ambulatoria entre abril 2003 y julio 2006, se seleccionaron 652 pacientes sometidos a cirugía con anestesia espinal. Los casos fueron 18 pacientes que desarrollaron retención urinaria aguda y 45 controles seleccionados al azar de los pacientes sin complicaciones en el postoperatorio. Se analizó estadística por pruebas estándares. Resultados: La prevalencia de retención urinaria aguda fue 2,76 por ciento. Se asociaron significativamente al desarrollo de retención urinaria aguda en postoperatorio las variables sexo masculino, p =0.026 OR =5.76 (IC 95 por ciento 1.17-28.24), edad sobre 50 años p =0.046 OR =3.14 (IC 95 por ciento 1.01-9.86) y cirugía hemiaria p =0.001 OR =7.59 (IC 95 por ciento 1.71-33.61). En todos los casos se manejó con cateterismo intermitente y la prolongación de estadía hospitalaria fue de un día en el 91 por ciento de los casos, y dos en el resto.
Background: The identified risk factors for acute urinary retention after spinal anesthesia are the dose and duration of anesthesia, old age and ano rectal surgical procedures. Aim: To assess the prevalence and risk factors of acute urinary retention in the program of ambulatory surgery with spinal anesthesia. Material and methods: Descriptive case control study. The medical records of 859 patients operated with spinal anesthesia between 2003 and 2006 were reviewed, and 18 patients aged 52 + 16 years, that had an acute urinary retention, were identified. Forty vive randomly chosen patients aged 46 + 14 years, without urinary retention were analyzed as controls. Results: The calculated prevalence of acute urinary retention was 2.8 percent. Male sex, an age over 50 years and hernia surgery were identified as risk factors for urinary retention with odds ratios of 5.8 (95 percent confidence interval (Cl) 17-28), 3.1 (95 percentCI 1.-9.9) and 7.6 (95 percentCI 1.7-33.6), respectively. All cases were managed with intermittent catheterization. Hospital stay was one day in 91 percent and two days in the rest. Conclusions: in this series, acute urinary retention occurred in 2.8 percent of patients after spinal surgery. Male sex, age over 50 years and hernia repair procedures were identified ads risk factors for the complication.

The study aimed to determine the occurrence of urinary retention in patients using opioid analgesic and to describe the method used for vesical relief. A prospective and consecutive series of 1,316 patients undergoing surgery from September 1999 to April 2003 and using opioids post surgery were studied. From the 1,136 patients, 594 did not use urinary catheters pre-surgery. From these 594 patients, 128 (22 percent) suffered post operative urinary retention. Urinary retention was significantly related to the use of continuous epidural analgesia (p=0.009). About 69 percent of patients experiencing urinary retention post surgery returned to spontaneous micturition following a single catheterization. The incidence found of urinary retention was similar to the literature, more frequent in men who received continuous epidural analgesia. The findings suggest orientation and careful nursing team observation of post operative micturition, emphasizing the intermittent aseptically catheterization for urinary retention in order to prevent potential complications of the urinary tract.
Los objetivos de este estudio fueron determinar la incidencia de retención urinaria post-operatoria en pacientes que se encontraban en uso de analgésicos opioides, así como describir el método utilizado en el vaciado vesical. Se trata de una serie prospectiva y consecutiva de 1.316 pacientes quirúrgicos, estudiados de septiembre de 1999 a abril de 2003. De ellos, 594 pacientes no usaron cateterismo de demora en el pre-operatorio. Así mismo, 128 pacientes de este grupo presentó retención urinaria, con una incidencia del 22 por ciento (128/594). Hubo una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre la ocurrencia de retención urinaria y el uso de analgesia epidural continua (p=0,009). El 69 por ciento de los pacientes presentó una micción espontánea luego de haber realizado apenas un cateterismo. La incidencia de retención urinaria encontrada es semejante a la descrita en la literatura, siendo más frecuente en hombres, así como en aquellos pacientes sometidos a analgesia epidural continua. Se sugiere una orientación y vigilancia adecuadas por el equipo de enfermería, haciendo énfasis en el cateterismo vesical intermitente aséptico, durante el transcurso de la retención urinaria, para prevenir complicaciones del tracto urinario.
Os objetivos deste estudo foram determinar a incidência de retenção urinária pós-operatória em pacientes que estavam em uso de analgesia com opióides e descrever o método utilizado para esvaziamento vesical. Trata-se de uma série prospectiva e consecutiva de 1.316 pacientes cirúrgicos de 9/1999 a 4/2003. Dos 1.316 pacientes, 594 não usaram cateterismo de demora no pré-operatório. Desses, 128 pacientes apresentaram retenção urinária, com incidência de 22 por cento (128/594). Houve associação estatisticamente significativa entre a ocorrência de retenção urinária e uso da analgesia peridural contínua (p=0,009). Cerca de 69 por cento dos pacientes apresentaram micção espontânea após a realização de apenas um cateterismo. A incidência de retenção urinária encontrada é semelhante à literatura, sendo mais freqüente em homens e naqueles submetidos à analgesia peridural contínua. Sugere-se orientação e vigilância adequada pela equipe de enfermagem, com ênfase no cateterismo vesical intermitente asséptico, na ocorrência de retenção urinária para prevenção de complicações do trato urinário.
