Purpose: In 2009, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published Guidelines for the Prevention of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections, which limited the indications for perioperative urinary catheter use. We conducted this study to evaluate the safety of elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) without urinary catheter placement and to investigate whether it reduces the incidence of urinary complications.
Methods: Of 244 patients who underwent elective LC between March, 2010 and April 2011, 192 patients fulfilled the eligibility criteria and underwent surgery without urinary catheterization (non-catheterized group). We compared the clinical features and surgical outcomes of the non-catheterized group with those of an historical control of 90 patients who underwent LC with routine urinary catheterization.
Results: The operating times were similar in the two groups and there was no case of conversion to open surgery. The postoperative hospital stay was slightly shorter and the incidence of urinary complications was significantly lower in the non-catheterized group. Three patients in the non-catheterized group suffered urinary retention, which resolved after temporary catheterization.
Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that elective LC without urinary catheter placement is feasible for most patients and might reduce the incidence of perioperative urinary complications.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to detect the relationship between routine urinary catheterization and postoperative urinary symptoms and urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women undergoing elective caesarean sections (ECSs).
Material And Methods: One hundred women undergoing ECSs were included in this observational study and randomized into a catheterized (C) group, including women who underwent ECS after insertion of indwelling Foley's catheter, and a non-catheterized (NC) group, including women who underwent ECS without Foley's catheter. The Foley's catheters were removed from all participants in the C group once they were freely ambulant and had recovered from the effect of the spinal anaesthesia.

Objectives: To analyze whether urinary catheterization in a hospital emergency department (ED) affects short-term prognosis in patients with acute heart failure (AHF).
Material And Methods: We prospectively recorded baseline and other clinical data in a consecutive cohort of ED patients treated for AHF. Crude and adjusted associations were calculated between catheterization and a primary composite outcome (30-day readmission for AHF and/or death) and secondary outcomes (in-hospital mortality, urinary tract infection [UTI], and duration of hospital stay.
Risk of venous thromboembolism with a central venous catheter in hospitalized Japanese patients with inflammatory bowel disease: a propensity score-matched cohort study.

Background/aims: Thromboprophylaxis is recommended for hospitalized patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Western countries, although it is selectively administered to high-risk patients in East Asia. A central venous catheter (CVC) is commonly placed in patients with IBD. Although CVC placement is considered a risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE), the degree of increased risk in patients with IBD is uncertain.

Objectives: To show that elimination of a urethral catheter in ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy cases is not disadvantageous.
Methods: We reviewed 164 non-catheterized patients (experimental group) and 656 catheterized patients (control group) with renal or ureteral stones treated at our institution. Inclusion criteria were initial operation, patient age 18 to 75 years, no dysuria, and no preoperative febrile urinary tract infection due to calculi.
