What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The number of patients with catheter-related bladder discomfort

    catheter-related bladder discomfort at postoperative 1 hour was evaluated as none, mild, moderate, severe. The number of patients with mild, moderate, severe discomfort will be calculated and compared between groups.

    Measured: at postoperative 1 hour

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Catheter-related bladder discomfort

    Catheter-related bladder discomfort will be evaluated as none, mild, moderate, severe at postoperative 0, 1, 6, 24 hours.

    Measured: at postoperative 0, 1, 6, 24 hours

  2. Pain at suprapubic area

    Pain at suprapubic area will be evaluated using NRS (0:none, 100:worst imaginable) at postoperative 0, 1, 6, 24 hours

    Measured: at postoperative 0, 1, 6, 24 hours
