Objective To explore the impact of duration of catheter on incidences of PUR,UTI and reinserting catheter following LAVH,in order to determine the best time for withdrawing catheter.Methods 139 patients in keeping with the selected criteria were randomly divided into the non-catheter group,indwelling one-day and two-day group.The incidences of PUR,UTI and reinserting catheter were analyzed.Results There was significant difference in PUR and UTI among the three groups,and no difference was seen in reinserting catheter among them.Conclusions The catheter should be withdrawn as early as possible to prevent UTI.
