Scientific titleComparison of the postoperative rate of complications and infections in indwelling urinary catheters and suprapubic catheters after anterior colporrhaphia: a three-arm prospective randomised trial
Study objectivesSuprapubic (Arm C) and indwelling urinary catheters (IUCs) for 96 hours (Arm B) are preferred in Europe after operations, including anterior colporrhaphia.

Hypothesis 1: If there is no difference in infection or complication rate between IUCs for 96 hours (Arm B) and IUCs for 24 hours (Arm A), the latter will be considered sufficient.
Hypothesis 2: If IUCs for 24 hours (Arm A) have no higher rate of infections and complications compared to suprapubic catheter for 96 hours (Arm C), the former could be considered sufficient.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics Committee of the Medical Faculty, Institute of Forensic Medicine, University of Rostock, approved on 02/02/2007 (ref: HV 03/2007)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedUrinary tract infection after operation
InterventionMethod of randomisation: permutated block randomisation with variable block length
Duration of recruitment: 12 months

Arm A: IUCs for 24 hours
Arm B: IUCs for 96 hours
Arm C: suprapubic catheter for 96 hours

In Arm A and B the indwelling catheter was installed under sterile conditions preoperatively by a scrub nurse. In Arm C the catheter was inserted under sterile conditions directly after theatre by the performing surgeon.

Total duration of follow-up: until discharge (mean value: 6.85 days +/- 1.45).
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureRate of urinary tract infection at 4 days after operation.
Secondary outcome measuresComplications, assessed on the day of discharge (mean value: 6.85 days +/- 1.45).
