Abstract


OBJECTIVE
To determine factors affecting voiding recovery on the day of Foley catheter removal (postoperative day 7, POD7) after nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy (NSRH) for early-stage cervical cancer.
METHODS
Early-stage cervical cancer patients, who underwent type C1 radical hysterectomy between January 2006 and June 2016 were included. Clinical and pathological data were reviewed. Association between inability to attain adequate voiding function on POD7 and potential predicting factors were evaluated in univariate and multivariate analysis.
RESULTS
Of 755 patients, 383 (50.7%) resumed adequate voiding function on POD7 while 372 (49.3%) did not. Tumor size was larger in patients whose voiding function was inadequate (2.5 vs. 2.0 cm, p=0.001). Lengths of resected parametria and adjacent vagina were more extensive in patients with inadequate voiding function (p < 0.001). In univariate analysis, factors significantly associated with inability to attain adequate voiding function included tumor size >4 cm (p < 0.001), primary surgeon (p < 0.001), postoperative urinary tract infection (p < 0.01), grossly visible tumor (p < 0.01), and not having prior conization (p < 0.01). In multivariate analysis, tumor size >4 cm, postoperative urinary tract infection, and primary surgeon were significantly associated with inability to attain adequate voiding function on POD7.
CONCLUSION
Extent of disease represented by tumor size, urinary tract infection as well as individual surgeon's technique independently predict resumption of adequate voiding function on POD7 following NSRH.
