NCT05313945

Brief Summary

In usual practice, the removal of the bladder catheter is performed by a nurse a few days after the surgery. The nurse deflates the balloon and removes the catheter from the urethra by manual traction. To date, there are no solid data on the impact of passive catheter removal on patient satisfaction. It is therefore necessary to estimate the effect on patient satisfaction of active catheter removal by a nurse versus passive catheter removal under gravity. The effect on pain and anxiety will also be compared between the two techniques. The methodology used was that of an open-label randomized controlled trial.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Patient satisfaction score

    Patient satisfaction score using a numerical rating scale (NRS) from the minimum value 0 (The worse score) to the maximum value 10 (The better Score)

    Within one hour after indwelling urinary catheter removal at day 0

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • The pain experienced by patients

    Prior to catheter removal (within 30 minutes before the start of the procedure) and in the immediate aftermath (within one hour after the removal of the catheter)

  • The anxiety experienced by patients

    Prior to catheter removal (within 30 minutes before the start of the procedure) and in the immediate aftermath (within one hour after the removal of the catheter)

  • Patient satisfaction

    at Day 0, at Day 2, at Day 15

  • Patient satisfaction

    at Day 2, at Day 15

Study Arms (2)

Passive indwelling urinary catheter removal

EXPERIMENTAL

The passive indwelling urinary catheter removal takes place due to gravity.

Procedure: Passive indwelling urinary catheter removal

Manual indwelling urinary catheter removal

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The manual indwelling urinary catheter removal takes place by manual traction by a nurse.

Procedure: Active indwelling catheter removal by a nurse

Interventions

After washing the patient's perineal area with water and mild soap, the nurse deflates the indwelling urinary catheter balloon and instructs the patient to take a shower (standing). During this time, the catheter will fall under gravity.

Passive indwelling urinary catheter removal

After washing the patient's perineal area with water and mild soap, the nurse deflates the balloon and removes the catheter from the urethra by manual traction.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexmale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Male ≥ 18 years old
  • With an indwelling urinary catheter placed after any of the following procedures:
  • A uro-endoscopic surgery from the list below:
  • Endoscopic prostate resection (or transurethral prostate resection).
  • Laser prostate enucleation
  • Prostate thermotherapy by radiofrequency
  • A high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment for prostate cancer
  • Cervico-prostatic incision or internal urethrotomy
  • Endoscopic/Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT)
  • Surgical treatment of bladder stones, ureter stones (rigid ureteroscopy) and kidney stones (flexible ureteroscopy with laser stone fragmentation)
  • Patient who has given written consent to participate

You may not qualify if:

  • Patient who is unable to perform intimate hygiene alone in a standing position
  • Patient with a painful genital lesion
  • Patient with an extended pelvic pathology
  • Need to remove the indwelling urinary catheter at the patient's home instead of hospital
  • Patient under guardianship or curator
  • Patient unable to understand the objectives of the study or unwilling to comply with postoperative instructions
