We reviewed catheter removal time and complications of 110 patients who underwent transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Average length of hospital stay was 3.2 days. In 65 (%59) patients the catheters were removed initially 1 day postoperatively (group1) and 45 (%41) on day 2-10 (group2) with an average of 1.9 days. A total of 11 (%10) patients required reinsertion of the catheter. Of these patients 9 had more than one predisposing risk factor (preoperative total urinary retention, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, age>70 years). We found that the amount of resected prostate had no effect on recatheterization (p>0.05). No statistically significant differences were noted between group 1 and group 2 in regard to recatheterization and postoperative complication rates (p>0.05). Postoperative urine cultures were positive in 9 (%8.2) patients, 6 of whom were required recatheterization. We conclude that removal of the catheter on the first day following TURP is safe, seems cost effective and comfortable for the selected patient.
