Background: Urinary catheters are routinely placed before colorectal surgery. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) recommends their removal as soon as possible. However, premature removal risks urinary retention, and delayed removal increases risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). This meta-analysis aims to synthesise the published literature on the optimal timing of urinary catheter removal following colorectal surgery with pelvic dissection.

Materials And Methods: The protocol for this meta-analysis is registered on PROSPERO (CRD42019150030).Pubmed, Ovid and Web of Science databases were searched (January 2020). Primary outcomes included urinary retention and catheter associated UTI. The intervention was removal of urinary catheter following colorectal surgery with pelvic dissection on postoperative days 1-2 (early); 3-4 (intermediate); or 5+ (late). Meta-analysis was performed using Comprehensive meta-analysis V2.

Results: Eight papers were analysed. 883 patients had early catheter removal, 236 intermediate and 204 late. Early catheter removal was associated with increased risk of urinary retention when compared to late removal RR = 2.352 95% CI = 1.370-4.038 (p = 0.002). No significant difference in urinary retention was found between early and intermediate or intermediate and late catheter removal groups. Early catheter removal was associated with reduced risk of UTIs compared to late removal RR = 0.498, 95% CI 0.306-0.811, (p = 0.005). No significant difference in UTIs was found between early and intermediate or intermediate and late catheter removal groups.

Conclusions: Removal of urinary catheters on postoperative day 3-4 provides a balance between minimising the risks of urinary retention and UTIs. This analysis can be used to finesse future ERAS protocols concerning catheter removal in colorectal surgery involving pelvic dissection.

Saline Lavage for Sampling of the Canine Nasal Immune Microenvironment.

J Vis Exp

December 2024

Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Colorado State University.

Evaluating the local immune microenvironment of the canine nasal cavity can be important for investigating normal tissue health and disease conditions, particularly those associated with local inflammation. We have optimized a technique to evaluate the local nasal immune microenvironment of dogs via serial nasal lavage. Briefly, with dogs under anesthesia and positioned in sternal recumbency, prewarmed sterile saline is flushed into the affected nostril using a flexible soft rubber catheter.

Hemostasis is a critical aspect of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). While HoLEP offers superior outcomes compared to traditional techniques, effective intraoperative and postoperative bleeding control remains a challenge.

Background: Medically intractable ascites causes substantial distress in patients with palliative disease. Tunneled peritoneal catheters have been established as a feasible treatment option allowing patient-controlled paracentesis in a homecare setting. However, while a range of complications is associated with these drainages, risk factors for complications have not been identified so far.

Suspicion of vascular injury during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) should be raised in the event of intraprocedural bleeding, persistent hyperbilirubinemia, and sepsis despite biliary stenting. Most inadvertent portal vein (PV) cannulations during ERCP are innocuous, and mere withdrawal of guidewire and catheter suffices. However, unintentional PV stenting, particularly with larger metallic stents, increases the likelihood of significant bleeding.
