| Abstract | Background: Lower urinary tract dysfunction is a common morbidity related to radical hysterectomy (RAH). Although transurethral catheterization (TUC) has traditionally been used for postoperative bladder drainage following RAH, suprapubic catheterization (SPC) is an alternative method that may be advantageous. Objectives: To determine, by means of a retrospective cohort study, the incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI), duration of postoperative hospital stay, and time to trial of voiding in women catheterized suprapubically or transurethrally after RAH for early stage cervical cancer. Methods: Two hundred twelve patients who underwent RAH and staging for stage IA1 + LVS, 1A2, and 1B1 cancer of the cervix in Edmonton between 1996 and 2006 were included in the study. Three gynaecologic oncologists performed the surgeries. |
