Mp43-01 Efficacy and Safety of Analgesic-Eluting Urethral Catheter After Urologic Surgery: A Pilot Prospective Study

You have accessJournal of UrologySurgical Technology n=10 each). The incidence and severity of CRBD were assessed at 24 hours postoperatively as primary outcomes. The incidence of adverse events during Foley catheter use was also compared as a secondary outcome. RESULTS: The incidence of CRBD at 24 hours post-operatively in the control, study 1 and study 2 arms was 50.0%, 0%, and 0% respectively (p=0.002). The severity of CRBD at 24 hours post-operatively showed that subjects in study 1 and study 2 arms had significantly less post-operative CRBD than those in the control arm (visual analog scoreVAS; mean VAS of control, study 1, and study 2 arm : 2.1 vs 1.6 vs 0.9, p=0.045). Catheter-related urethral pain was considerably less severe in the study arms than in the control arm (VAS score: 6.2 vs. 1.5 vs. 1.4, p<0.001). The incidence and severity of postoperative catheter-related adverse events were not significantly different between groups (p=0.287). Peri-catheter leakage was more frequent in the study 2 arm compared to the other arms (p=0.057). CONCLUSIONS: An appropriate dose of ropivacaine eluting urethral catheter could not only alleviate catheter-related urethral pain but also reduce the incidence or severity of CRBD in patients undergoing urologic surgery without significant adverse events.
