European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology May 25, 2018

Krishnaswamy PH, et al. - Researchers sought to assess the use of a Foley Catheter as a vaginal drain in premenopausal women undergoing a vaginal hysterectomy and the impact on different outcomes including development of vault haematoma, length of hospital stay, antibiotics usage, readmissions to the hospital and febrile morbidity in the immediate postoperative period. They noted reduced postoperative complications associated with vault haematomas with shorter hospital stay, lower antibiotic usage and lower readmission rate via using a Foley catheter as a pelvic drain following a vaginal hysterectomy.
