Patient preferences for clean intermittent catheterisation and transurethral indwelling catheterisation for treatment of abnormal post-void residual bladder volume after vaginal prolapse surgery

Abstract

Most patients with abnormal PVR prefer CIC to TIC. The results of a recent randomised controlled trial showed that CIC resulted in a 2 days shorter catheterisation and more than 20% reduced risk of UTI. These conditions correspond to a preference of 99% of patients for CIC.
