About this study

Official title: Amonocenter, Prospective, Randomized Clinical Trial to Investigate the Removal Time of Urinary Catheter After Laparoscopic Anterior Resection of the Rectum.

Traditionally these catheters are retained for 7 days, because a higher incidence of urinary retention is related to early removal of the urinary catheter. However, recently Enhanced Recovery After Surgery presents that urinary catheters placed via the urethra can be withdrawn 48 hours after colon/rectal surgery in patients receiving epidural pain relief,but there is no clear data on the incidence of urine retention.Longer retaining time of urethral catheter would induce the urinary tract infection while early removal of urethral catheter is considered to develop acute retention of urine due to lack of sensation when the bladder is full. Taking the comfort and mobility for faster rehabilitation of patients into account, the investigators aim at obtain the optimal removal time of urinary catheter after after laparoscopic anterior resection of the rectum

Read the detailed description

For a better view to avoid accidental trauma and monitoring kidney function during surgery and in the post-surgery period, patients undergoing abdominal operations will usually have a urinary catheter placed in the bladder before the surgery. Traditionally these catheters are retained for 7 days, because a higher incidence of urinary retention is related to early removal of the urinary catheter. However, recently Enhanced Recovery After Surgery presents that urinary catheters placed via the urethra can be withdrawn 48 hours after colon/rectal surgery in patients receiving epidural pain relief.

Longer retaining time of urethral catheter would induce the urinary tract infection while early removal of urethral catheter is considered to develop acute retention of urine due to lack of sensation when the bladder is full. Taking the comfort and mobility for faster rehabilitation of patients into account, the investigators aim at obtain the optimal removal time of urinary catheter after after laparoscopic anterior resection of the rectum

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Early removal groupProcedure or surgery

    Participants assigned to the experimental arm will have their urethral catheters removed at 2 days after after laparoscopic anterior resection of the rectum.

  • Normal removal groupProcedure or surgery

    Participants assigned to the control group will have their urethral catheters removed at 7days following surgery, as is standard practice in our institution.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Early removal groupExperimentalAll participants are to have a urethral catheter placed following successful placement of an epidural catheter for analgesia prior. Following urethral catheter placement participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental arm or the control arm. Participants assigned to the experimental arm will have their urethral catheters removed at 2 days following surgery.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Post-operative urinary retention requiring re-catheterisation

    Development of acute post-operative urinary retention demonstrated by a post-void residual >100mls on bladder ultrasound requiring re-catheterisation within 1 day of removal of urethral catheter in the post-operative period

    Measured: 1 day following urethral catheter removal

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Urinary tract infection

    Before catheter removal, take a mid-stream urine sample for microscopy and culture. Leucocyte in urine ≥5/HP for man and ≥10/HP for woman is defined as bacteruria with urinary irritation or not.A pure culture of a single organism of >100,000 colony forming units will be considered a positive culture.

    Measured: Within 7 days of urethral catheter removal

  2. Urethrorrhagia

    take a mid-stream urine sample for Clinical urine tests and RBC≥3/HP is defined as urethrorrhagia.

    Measured: Within 7 days of urethral catheter removal

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Early removal group and Normal removal group in people with Rectum Cancer, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact XU Lai (drxulai@pumch.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post-operative urinary retention requiring re-catheterisation (time frame: 1 day following urethral catheter removal). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03065855, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Feb 2017.
