Abstract: Objective To investigate the optimal time to remove the urinary catheter in patients undergoing laparoscopic adrenalectomy. MethodsPatients undergoing laparoscopic adrenalectomy were assigned to group A (6 h), group B ( 12 h), group C ( normal control group) with 20 cases in each. Subject feeling, adverse reactions, postoperative bed time and days of absolute diet were compared. Results The incidence of bacteriuria in group A (35％) and B (30％) were significantly lower than that of group C (85％)(F=14. 80, P =0. 000). The incidence of hematouria in group A (25％) and B (10％) were also significantly lower than that of group C ( 80％ ) ( F =22. 98, P =0. 000). Conclusions 6 - 12 hours after laparoscopic adrenalectomy are the optimal time to remove the catheter. In this manner, it can reduce the incidence of bacteriuria and hematouria, promote the postoperative recovery, thus to reduce the cost of hospitalization and improve the nursing work efficiency.
