Background/Aims: Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is one of the most frequent complications of epidural anesthesia. This study aims to clarify risk factors of POUR and to estimate the appropriate timing of urethral catheter removal. Methods: Between September and December 2014, a retrospective cohort study was conducted on 120 patients who underwent epidural anesthesia and major abdominal surgery. To observe trends in incidence of POUR, we analyzed the order and interval of removal of epidural and urethral catheters using Cochran-Armitage trend test. Results: In this study, 40 patients were diagnosed with POUR (33.3%). Median removal of epidural catheters was 4 postoperative days in the POUR group and 3.5 postoperative days in the non-POUR group (p = 0.04). When the urethral catheter was removed before epidural catheter, incidence of POUR was comparatively greater (p < 0.001). There were no statistical differences in surgical fields, operation approach, epidural catheter levels, or epidural opioid use. No patients had urinary tract infections. Conclusion: We demonstrated that removal of urethral catheter before epidural catheter contributed to increasing trends in incidence of POUR. The optimal order and interval of removal of epidural and urethral catheters should be considered to avoid POUR after abdominal surgery.

Dr. E. Rotthaus (Arch. F. Klin. Chir. Bd. 161. H. 2) recommends for postoperative urinary retention intravenous injection 1 eg. Piiocarpin'a + 0.3 mg Atropin'a. In the hands of the author, this method is safe and over 80% successful.

Objectives: Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is influenced by many factors, and its reported incidence rate varies widely. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence and risk factors for urinary retention following general anesthesia for endoscopic nasal surgery in male patients aged >60 years. Methods: A retrospective review of medical records between January 2015 and December 2019 identified 253 patients for inclusion in our study. Age, body mass index (BMI), a history of diabetes/hypertension, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, and urologic history were included as patient-related factors. Urologic history was subdivided into 3 groups according to history of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH)/lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and current medication. The following was analyzed as perioperative variables for POUR development: duration of anesthesia and surgery; amount of fluid administered; rate of fluid administration; intraoperative requirement for fentanyl, ephedrine, and dexamethasone; postoperative pain; and analgesic use. Preoperatively measured prostate size and uroflowmetry parameters of patients on medication for symptoms were compared according to the incidence of urinary retention. Results: Thirty-seven (15.7%) patients developed POUR. Age (71.4 vs 69.6 years), BMI (23.9 vs 24.9 kg/m2), a history of diabetes/hypertension, ASA classification, and perioperative variables were not significantly different between patients with and without POUR. Only urologic history was identified as a factor affecting the occurrence of POUR ( P = .03). The incidence rate among patients without urologic issues was 5.9%, whereas that among patients with BPH/LUTS history was 19.8%. Among patients taking medication for symptoms, the maximal and average velocity of urine flow were significantly lower in patients with POUR. Conclusions: General anesthesia for endoscopic nasal surgery may be a potent trigger for urinary retention in male patients aged >60 years. The patient’s urological history and urinary conditions appear to affect the occurrence of POUR.

Objective: To assess the efficacy of hemorrhoidectomy with Milligan-Morgan technique in the author’s modification.Methods: Results of surgical treatment of 558 patients aged 21–72 years with complicated hemorrhoids of III–IV stage were analyzed. The group of clinical comparison (207 patients) was operated according to standard scheme, the main group (351 patients) – according to author’s technology with modified technique for treating the hemorrhoid bolus using betamethasone.Results: When using the author’s technique, a more significant decrease in postoperative pain syndrome severity was achieved: injection analgesics were not required already in a day, and after 6 days the pain syndrome was stopped in all cases. Only three patients (0.9%) demonstrated an acute urinary retention up to two days. The group of clinical comparison maintained a longterm (up to three months) pain syndrome; postoperative urinary retention was registered in 38 cases (18.4%); 9 patients (4.3%) developed blood loss in the area of surgical intervention.Conclusions: Suggested technique of surgical treatment for hemorrhoids is quite effective, simple and can be implemented in any surgical inpatient facility.
