Cancer, Infection

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the urinary tract infection rate on the four postoperative day between the 2 groups of patients who have undergone total mesorectal excision for cancer and low anastomosis, with either suprapubic or transurethral catheterization.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of participants with urinary tract infection when using suprapubic versus transurethral catheterization as assessed by significant bacteriuria and pyuriafour days postoperativeThe urinary tract infection, defined as significant bacteriuria ( \> 104 CFU / mL) and pyuria (\> 6 white blood cells per high power field) in urine samples obtained immediately after removal of the urethral catheter or clamping suprapubic catheter and removing the fourth postoperative day.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain as assessed by visual analogue scale (0 to 10 score) for abdomen and urethraat 1, 2, 3 and 4 daysvisual analogue scale (0-10) for both the abdomen and the urethra (a measure daily until hospital discharge )
Participants morbidity and mortality as assessed by Dindo and Clavien classificationat 1 month and 6 months
Rate of satisfaction for participants as assessed by questionnaries (Fact-C and EQ-5D-3Lat 30 days and 6 monthsPatient satisfaction : very, or moderately dissatisfied , unchanged , slightly , moderately , or very disappointed at the exit of the Fact- C hospital and EQ-5D - 3L at 30 days and 6 months.
Cost as assessed by the addition of the costs of the full process depending on the catheterism duration and additional consultations and readmissions for complicationsat 6 monthsEstimated cost of complications, urologic surgery, medication , hospitalization, additional consultations and readmissions.
Duration of hospital stay in dayswithin 6 monthsthe hospital stay by day
Duration of catherism as assessed by the number of days for participants with the catheter and number of participants leaving the hospital with the catheter1 month
Duration of postoperative return to normal bladder function as assessed by IPSS scoreat 1 and 6 months
Number of additionnal consultationsin the first 6 months
Lack of comfort as assessed by visual analogue scale (0 to 10 score) for abdomen and urethraat 1, 2, 3 and 4 daysvisual analogue scale (0-10) for both the abdomen and the urethra (a measure daily until hospital discharge )
