Urinary Complications after Radical Hysterectomy in Cervical Cancer: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Objective: Radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy are standard treatments for cervical cancer. A common long-term complication is lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD), which can lead to urinary tract infections (UTIs) due to urinary stasis. Incontinence may also increase UTI risk by allowing bacteria to enter through the urethra. This study aims to determine the incidence of LUTD and UTI in cervical cancer patients after radical hysterectomy and to analyze their relationship.Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients with stage IA2–IIA2 cervical cancer who underwent radical hysterectomy at Margono Soekarjo General Hospital. Urinary catheters were placed postoperatively, and bladder training was initiated on postoperative day three. Urine samples were collected on day fourteen or upon the return of bladder sensation to assess for urinary tract infection (UTI). The relationship between lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) and UTI was analyzed using.Result: LUTD incidence was 13.8%. UTI incidence was significantly higher in patients with LUTD than in those without (7.7% vs. 1.5%, p < 0.001). The relative risk of UTI in patients with LUTD was 31.1 (95% CI: 6.396–739.029), likely due to the limited sample size.Conclusion: There is a significant association between LUTD and UTI in cervical cancer patients after radical hysterectomy. Early detection and monitoring of bladder function are essential in postoperative care.Keywords: Lower urinary tract dysfunction; radical hysterectomy; urinary tract infection.
