Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
RCT of urethral versus suprapubic catheterization.
To compare the use of intermittent urethral catheterization with indwelling suprapubic catheterization in women undergoing surgery for urodynamic stress incontinence or uterovaginal prolapse. ⋯ The use of intermittent catheterization following urogynaecological surgery is associated with a more rapid return to normal micturition and a shorter hospital stay, although the clinical significance of the difference is perhaps limited.
