Abstract:
» Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) may result from orthopaedic procedures and potentially lead to bacteremia and chronic voiding difficulties. » Risk factors for POUR include age, undergoing joint arthroplasty, male sex, intraoperative intravenous fluid administration, operative time, and history of benign prostatic hyperplasia. » Indwelling catheterization is the preferred management strategy for patients at risk for developing POUR. » A consistent definition of POUR is needed in order to draw conclusions from future studies.
