Who Needs a Postoperative Radiological Anastomotic Control following Radical Prostatectomy before Catheter Removal on Postoperative Day 3? – Analysis of Risk Factors Predicting Anastomotic Leakage
Omitting CG at POD3 following RP would miss approximately 7% of AL. It is unclear whether this would always cause disruption and urinoma. Since catheterization time for safe removal without CG has yet to be defined, we recommend early CG for all patients. Early catheter removal has a 5% risk for acute urinary retention.
