A review of enhanced recovery after surgery and early removal of urinary catheter in gynecology / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

The concept of enhanced recovery after surgery has been widely used in various disci-plines. Because of the need of anaesthesia and metabolism after surgery and the particularity of gynecologi-cal pelvic surgery, most surgical operations require indwelling catheter. However, indwelling catheter has many complications, such as urinary tract infection, difficult intubation, leakage, bladder function damage and difficult extubation. This article mainly discussed the progress of rehabilitation surgery and the applica-tion of early removal of ureter, and discussed the complications of indwelling catheter, in order to shorten the time of indwelling catheter after surgery, so as to reduce the symptoms of urinary tract irritation, the rate of urinary tract infection, and the nervous and anxious mood of patients, as well as accelerate the recovery of patients after surgery.
