✦ Synopsis

Catheter drainage of the bladder is commonly used after vaginal repair surgery to avoid urinary retention. Catheter use is the main risk factor for postoperative urinary tract infection, and the risk increases with the duration of catheterization. The risk is reduced with closed collecting systems and with suprapubic drainage. Prophylactic use of antimicrobial drugs may also reduce the risk, but the most important point is to keep the catheter time down. The article reviews the various aspects of asymptomatic bacteriuria and urinary tract infection after vaginal repair surgery and provides recommendations.
