Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The total amount of urinary incontinence on the day after catheter removal (from 0:00 to 24:00). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) Number of urinary pad changes at 1 month after surgery 2) Incidence and severity of CRBD (catheter-related bladder discomfort) during catheterization at the specified time points* (0: no CRBD, 1: mild, 2: moderate, 3: severe) 3) Incidence and severity of urethral pain during catheterization at the specified time points*, evaluated using the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale 4) Incidence of adverse events** *The specified time points are defined as immediately upon return to the ward (postoperative 0 hours), and at 6, 24, 48, and 72 hours postoperatively. **Adverse events will be collected up to the day after catheter removal. However, events that are clearly attributable to catheter insertion occurring after the day following catheter removal will continue to be collected. | — |
