Background: There currently is no standard practice for optimal urinary catheter removal after rectal resection (proctectomy). Delayed removal may increase urinary tract infection risk, an important hospital quality metric. This study aimed to assess the effect of catheter duration on urinary tract infection rate. We hypothesized that early removal would be associated with fewer infections.

2,429 例良性和恶性肿瘤直肠切除术后早期与延迟膀胱导管切除的结果：一项观察性队列研究

背景：目前没有在直肠切除术（直肠切除术）后最佳移除导尿管的标准做法。延迟移除可能会增加尿路感染风险，这是一项重要的医院质量指标。本研究旨在评估导管持续时间对尿路感染率的影响。我们假设早期移除会减少感染。
