Brief Summary

Traditionally these catheters are retained for 7 days, because a higher incidence of urinary retention is related to early removal of the urinary catheter. However, recently Enhanced Recovery After Surgery presents that urinary catheters placed via the urethra can be withdrawn 48 hours after colon/rectal surgery in patients receiving epidural pain relief,but there is no clear data on the incidence of urine retention.Longer retaining time of urethral catheter would induce the urinary tract infection while early removal of urethral catheter is considered to develop acute retention of urine due to lack of sensation when the bladder is full. Taking the comfort and mobility for faster rehabilitation of patients into account, the investigators aim at obtain the optimal removal time of urinary catheter after after laparoscopic anterior resection of the rectum

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Post-operative urinary retention requiring re-catheterisation

    Development of acute post-operative urinary retention demonstrated by a post-void residual \>100mls on bladder ultrasound requiring re-catheterisation within 1 day of removal of urethral catheter in the post-operative period

    1 day following urethral catheter removal

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Urinary tract infection

    Within 7 days of urethral catheter removal

  • Urethrorrhagia

    Within 7 days of urethral catheter removal

Study Arms (2)

Early removal group

EXPERIMENTAL

All participants are to have a urethral catheter placed following successful placement of an epidural catheter for analgesia prior. Following urethral catheter placement participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental arm or the control arm. Participants assigned to the experimental arm will have their urethral catheters removed at 2 days following surgery.

Procedure: Early removal group

Normal removal group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

All participants are to have a urethral catheter placed following successful placement of an epidural catheter for analgesia prior. Following urethral catheter placement participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental arm or the control arm. Participants assigned to the control group will have their urethral catheters removed at 7days following surgery, as is standard practice in our institution.

Procedure: Normal removal group

Interventions

Participants assigned to the experimental arm will have their urethral catheters removed at 2 days after after laparoscopic anterior resection of the rectum.

Early removal group

Participants assigned to the control group will have their urethral catheters removed at 7days following surgery, as is standard practice in our institution.

Normal removal group
