    Postoperative urinary retention is a common surgical issue. Prevention strategies and sterile catheterization for management are key to patient recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Nursing
    • Postoperative Care

    Background:

    • Postoperative urinary retention (PUR) is a frequent complication following surgical procedures.
    • Effective management of PUR is crucial for patient comfort and preventing complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the key preventive measures for postoperative urinary retention.
    • To describe the recommended management strategies for established postoperative urinary retention.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of established clinical practices for preventing and managing urinary retention.
    • Emphasis on preoperative assessment and patient preparation.
    • Guidelines for sterile catheterization and urine culture protocols.

    Main Results:

    • Preoperative history and physical examination are vital.
    • Encouraging early voiding and avoiding overhydration reduce PUR incidence.
    • Sterile catheterization ensures complete bladder drainage when needed.

    Conclusions:

    • Proactive prevention strategies significantly decrease the occurrence of PUR.
    • Appropriate and timely management, including sterile catheterization, is essential for resolving PUR.
    • Urine cultures and judicious antibiotic use are important in catheterized patients.
