The use of bladder volume measurement assessed by ultrasound in predicting postoperative urinary retention

Abstract: OBJECTIVE:Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is a common complication after spinal anesthesia. Ultrasound (US) is a simple, non-invasive method to estimate bladder volume before and after surgery. Primary aim of the present study was to investigate utility of bladder volume measured before and after surgery in prediction of POUR risk. Secondary aim was to investigate necessity of urethral catheter use and risk of urethral catheter-related infections.METHODS:Eighty patients who received spinal anesthesia fo… Show more

“…29 The values obtained for mesorectal volume and surface area were in accordance with the values reported in literature based on MR and ultrasound images. 30 The pelvis volume was found to be significantly correlated with height and the pelvic inlet diameter was positively correlated with body weight in accordance with literature. [31][32][33] The anterior-posterior distance between inferior pelvic floor muscle and pubic symphysis and the angle between superior mesorectum and sacral promontory were correlated with subject height, which can help surgeons better perform sharp dissection of the mesorectal envelope and stay within the surgical boundaries by using proper surgical devices during TME.…”

“…No previous descriptions of the mean bladder volume in pigs have been located and, certainly, such volume may vary according to the degree of bladder repletion and the method of measurement. In humans, this mean volume varies between 400 and 600 mL 56 and, therefore, despite possible measurement biases, it is similar to that found in the evaluated swine, with an average volume of 423.7 mL. Bladder manipulation during urological procedures should be careful due to the fragility of the bladder wall, which is thinner when compared to humans or other mammals 57 .…”

“…Transabdominal ultrasound is frequently used for measuring bladder volumes non-invasively to prevent postoperative urinary retention (= POUR) by timely catheterization, but also to avoid unnecessary bladder catheterizations [ 1 4 ]. Bladder catheterization is the “standard” treatment for POUR [ 1 , 5 , 6 ], but it is an invasive procedure that contributes to an increased risk of urinary tract infections, urethral trauma, patient discomfort and unplanned and prolonged hospital admissions [ 7 10 ].…”
