Objective  To investigate the risk factors of postoperative urinary retention of non-small cell lung cancer patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy without indwelling urinary catheterization. Methods  In this prospective trial, we recruited 148 patients who were scheduled for lung cancer lobectomy under general anesthesia by VATS in Department of Thoracic Surgery in West China Hospital from July through December 2015. These patients were divided into two groups including a trial group and a control group. There was no indwelled urethral catheter in the trial group. And the patients in the control group were indwelled urethral catheter routinely. Postoperative urinary retention, urinary tract infection, the postoperative hospitalization duration and the clinical data were recorded. Results  There was no significant difference between the trial group and the control group in postoperative urinary retention (9.46% vs. 6.76%, P=0.087). However, the ratios of the male patients and the patients with history of abdomen operation, and international prostate symptom score (IPSS) of the urinary retention patients (83.33%, 33.33%, 26.55±7.00) were statistically higher than those of the patients without urinary retention (56.62%, 0.00%, 15.31±8.31, P=0.017, P=0.000, P=0.031). Postoperative urinary tract infection rates in the trial group and the patients with urinary retention (4.05%,25%) were statistically higher than those in the control group and the patients without urinary retention (1.35%, 0.74%, P=0.049, P=0.048). Conclusion  The risk factors of postoperative urinary retention patients with non-small cell lung cancer undergoing VATS lobectomy are male patients, history of abdomen operation, and moderate to severe hyperplasia of prostate.
