It has proven feasible in patients undergoing HoLEP but only under strict criteria. Furthermore, the influence of patient factors, such as post-operative bladder function, on early catheter removal has not been studied. To help address these limitations, we sought to determine if same day catheter removal was feasible in a generalizable population of HoLEP patients and if bladder pressure assessment could improve success rates. METHODS: From February 2021 to August 2021, we prospectively evaluated same day catheter removal for patients undergoing HoLEP. Patients were excluded if they had a history of atonic or hypocontractile bladder. All patients were anesthetized with general anesthesia and paralyzed. Criteria for proceeding with same day catheter removal included: an uncomplicated procedure, continuous bladder irrigation weaned within 120 minutes of arrival to PACU, minimal hematuria rated with a standardized scale and a bladder pressure over 30 cmH20 as measured using the VP TestTM device (SRS Medical). RESULTS: Over a 6-month period, 45 patients were enrolled in our study. The median age was 68 (IQR: 63.0-72.0) and prostate volume 79.1cc (IQR: 61.0-103.5). Criteria for catheter removal was met by 35 patients; 9 patients were unable to meet bladder pressure cutoffs and 1 was excluded for hematuria. Of those that attempted a trial of void, 29/35 passed for an effective pass rate of 83%. For those that failed trial of void, 100% had uncomplicated catheter replacement in PACU with a median catheter duration of 2 days (IQR: 1-3). Median maximum detrusor pressure for those that passed, failed, and did not attempt a trail of void were 55.0 cmH20 (IQR: 43.0-84.0), 46.0 cmH20 (IQR: 35.0-61.0) and 13.0 cmH20 (IQR: 8.0-23.0), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: In a population of patients who received general anesthesia and paralysis for HoLEP, same day catheter removal is feasible. There are differences in measured post-operative bladder pressure between those that passed and failed trial of void. Bladder pressure measurements in the post-operative setting may be a helpful adjunct for those considering same day catheter removal in HoLEP patients.
