Effect of ICCAUT Strategy on Postoperative Urinary Retention After Radical Rectal Cancer Surgery (ICCAUT-2)

Rectal Cancer Clinical Trial

Official title: Effect of Intermittent Urethral Catheter Clamping Combined With Active Urination Training (ICCAUT) Strategy on Postoperative Re-catheterization Secondary to Urinary Retention After Radical Rectal Cancer Surgery (ICCAUT-2)

Status Suspended

Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this trial is to investigate the effect of bladder training on the incidence of re-catheterization after proctectomy. In this study, the bladder training include intermittent urethral catheter clamping combined with active urination training, which we called ICCAUT strategy. This prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial will enroll patients with rectal cancer who will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the ICCAUT group or the free-drainage group. In the ICCAUT group, patients will undergo intermittent clamping of the urinary catheter before its removal. Each time the catheter is released, we will encourage the patients to actively initiate urination to facilitate complete bladder emptying. While patients in the free-drainage group will not undergo any specific training. The urinary catheter will be removed on the second postoperative day for both groups. The primary endpoint is the incidence of re-catheterization due to urinary retention. Secondary endpoints include urinary tract infection (UTI), time of first urination after catheter removal, residual urine volume after the first urination, postoperative morbidity and mortality within 30 days, as well as urinary function within 30 postoperative days.

Clinical Trial Description

Urinary catheter placement is a standard procedure before proctectomy. However, the necessity of bladder training prior to catheter removal remains uncertain. The objective of this trial is to investigate the effect of bladder training on the incidence of re-catheterization after proctectomy.

This prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial will enroll patients with rectal cancer who will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the ICCAUT group or the free-drainage group.
