  • Title: [Does preoperative urethral catheter increase the risk of complications in transurethral prostate resection?].
    Author: Glomsaker T, Laursen LH, Beisland HO.
    Journal: Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen; 1990 Nov 30; 110(29):3747-9. PubMed ID: 2274944.
    Abstract:
    In a material consisting of 243 patients treated with transurethral prostate resection 76 had preoperatively been drained for urine by indwelling urethral catheter. Delayed recovery or increased risk for complications due to the resection could not be demonstrated in this group compared to 167 patients without use of preoperative catheter. Peroperative antibiotic prophylaxis is to recommend in patients operated upon directly after catheter drainage.
