Résumé
Self-removal of urinary catheter as an option after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has never been explored in literature. We report the feasibility and outcome of the first study of this novel concept in our hospital. We conducted a prospective audit of self-TWOC (trial without catheter) in men who underwent consecutive RARP in our centre between April 2022 and September 2022. Men who had self-TWOC filled a questionnaire about the outcomes of self-TWOC. Carbon footprint and carbon offset for each hospital TWOC avoided were calculated. Of the 129 who underwent self-TWOC, 112 filled the questionnaire and were hence included in the final analysis. Self-TWOC was successful in all the 112 (100%) men in the study. 99.1% of men were satisfied with self-TWOC at home. We managed to avoid 79.6 ± 36.72 km of travel and 77 min of travel time for every self-TWOC. This also saved 85£/patient on clinic expenses and fuel cost savings of 9.87-15.99£ per patient depending on car engine size/type. The carbon footprint calculated was 20 kg CO
