In usual practice, the removal of the bladder catheter is performed by a nurse a few days after the surgery. The nurse deflates the balloon and removes the catheter from the urethra by manual traction. To date, there are no solid data on the impact of passive catheter removal on patient satisfaction.
It is therefore necessary to estimate the effect on patient satisfaction of active catheter removal by a nurse versus passive catheter removal under gravity. The effect on pain and anxiety will also be compared between the two techniques. The methodology used was that of an open-label randomized controlled trial.
Male ≥ 18 years old
Endoscopic prostate resection (or transurethral prostate resection).
Laser prostate enucleation
Prostate thermotherapy by radiofrequency
Patient who is unable to perform intimate hygiene alone in a standing position
Patient with a painful genital lesion
Patient with an extended pelvic pathology
Need to remove the indwelling urinary catheter at the patient's home instead of hospital
Parallel
Passive indwelling urinary catheter removal
Procedure/SurgeryAfter washing the patient's perineal area with water and mild soap, the nurse deflates the indwelling urinary catheter balloon and instructs the patient to take a shower (standing). During this time, the catheter will fall under gravity.
Active indwelling catheter removal by a nurse
Procedure/SurgeryAfter washing the patient's perineal area with water and mild soap, the nurse deflates the balloon and removes the catheter from the urethra by manual traction.
Patient satisfaction score
Patient satisfaction score using a numerical rating scale (NRS) from the minimum value 0 (The worse score) to the maximum value 10 (The better Score)
The pain experienced by patients
The pain experienced by patients will be measured using a numerical scale (EN) ranging from the minimum value 0 (The better score) to the maximum value 10 (The worse Score)
The anxiety experienced by patients
The anxiety experienced by patients will be measured using a numerical scale (EN) ranging from the minimum value 0 (The better score) to the maximum value 10 (The worse Score)
Patient satisfaction
Patient satisfaction will be evaluated using a satisfaction questionnaire without score
