Abstract：Objective:To analyze the effect of intermittent catheterization on the recovery of bladder function and urinary tract infection prevention in patients with cervical carcinoma. Methods:Patients (n=182) with early cervical cancer (FIGOⅠA,ⅠB andⅡA ) were selected from the General Hospital of PLA in January 2014-December 2016. Postoperative patients with residual urine volume (≥100 mL) were randomly divided into observation group (n=89) and control group (n=93). The general materials of the two groups were recorded, and the recovery time of residual urine volume (<100 mL) and the incidence of urinary tract infection were compared between the two groups. Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups in the mean age, the clinical stage of FIGO and the residual urine volume (P>0.05). In the residual urine volume (100-200 mL, 201-350 mL) patients, the time up to standard of observation group was less than that of the control group ( P<0.001). The incidence of urinary tract infection in observation group was less than that in control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Intermittent catheterization can promote the recovery of bladder function and reduce the incidence of urinary tract infection in patients with cervical cancer.
