Postoperative urinary retention occurred in 20% of patients. Spinal anesthesia with tetracaine and adrenaline led to significantly more retention than other anesthetic techniques, highlighting anesthesia choice as a key factor.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Urology

Context:

  • Postoperative urinary retention is a common complication following surgery.
  • Understanding factors influencing its occurrence is crucial for patient care.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the incidence of postoperative urinary retention.
  • To identify risk factors, particularly anesthesiological techniques, associated with urinary retention.

Summary:

  • This study analyzed 371 operations in 359 patients, excluding those under 15, with incontinence, or with catheters.
  • Urinary retention was diagnosed in 75 patients (20%), with higher incidence in men and older men.
  • Spinal anesthesia using tetracaine and adrenaline was associated with significantly higher rates of urinary retention compared to other anesthetic methods.

Impact:

  • Findings emphasize the significant impact of anesthesiological technique on postoperative urinary retention.
  • Suggests prioritizing anesthetic choices to minimize this complication.
  • Highlights conservative and medical management over catheterization for diagnosed urinary retention.
