Postoperative Patient Comfort and Quality of Micturition in Suprapubic Tube vs. Transurethral Catheterization After RARP

Prospective, Randomized, Three-arm, Open Controlled Trial Comparing the Quality of Micturition and the Patient Comfort by Various Urinary Drainage After Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP)

The purpose of the study is to determine, whether the postoperative quality of micturition and continence can be improved depending on the urinary drainage catheter and retention after robot assisted radical prostatectomy. Another finding could be the study of the pain assessment of the patient, as well as the pain medication at the various derivatives. Further check whether infections and the presence of bacteriuria can be reduced or avoided by the form of urinary drainage.
