Background- Urinary catheterization is a common procedure used in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgeries of lower limb and spine. However no exact mechanism or theory postulated in support of clamping of indwelling catheter before removal. We evaluated the necessity of clamping of short term indwelling urinary catheter before removal.
Material methods- 327 patients were enrolled , undergoing orthopaedic surgeries of lower limb & spine . These patients were divided in category A – clamping and category B –non clamping group through Randomization & studied prospectively.
Results- This study found that clamping of indwelling catheter prior to removal is not necessary in short term patients. And no significant recatherization risk found as compared to clamping group .
Conclusion– There is no necessity of clamping the indwelling urinary catheter before removal. In addition there is higher risk of complications with clamping such as prolonged urinary catheter retention , urinary tract infections & allergy.
