Postoperative urinary retention stems from multiple factors like sedation, anesthesia, and bladder overdistension. Managing pain and anxiety is key to preventing this common complication.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Urology
  • Surgical Care

Background:

  • Postoperative urinary retention (PUR) is a common complication following surgical procedures.
  • Understanding the multifactorial etiology of PUR is crucial for effective prevention and management strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the diverse factors contributing to the development of postoperative urinary retention.
  • To provide a comprehensive overview of the etiological components of PUR.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies investigating the causes of postoperative urinary retention.
  • Analysis of clinical factors associated with the incidence of PUR.

Main Results:

  • Key contributing factors include sedation, anesthetic agents, and heightened sympathetic nervous system activity.

  • Overdistension of the bladder due to intravenous fluid administration is a significant etiological element.
  • Patient-related factors such as pain and anxiety also play a substantial role in the development of PUR.

    • Conclusions:

    • Postoperative urinary retention results from a complex interplay of anesthetic, surgical, and patient-specific factors.
    • Multimodal approaches addressing sedation, fluid management, pain, and anxiety are essential for mitigating the risk of PUR.
