Incidence and Risk Factors of Postoperative Urinary Retention After Thyroidectomy: A Retrospective Cohort Study
POUR occurred in 13.3% of thyroidectomy patients. Sex-stratified analysis showed BPH and lower BMI as key risks in males, whereas older age, lower BMI, and longer operative time were significant in females. Recognizing these factors may support targeted perioperative screening and postoperative monitoring to reduce retention-related delays and complications.
