What is the long term prognosis for a patient who is unable to urinate once the post resection catheter is removed?
The long-term prognosis for a patient unable to urinate after catheter removal post-surgery can vary widely depending on the underlying cause of urinary retention. If the retention is due to temporary factors such as swelling or nerve recovery, spontaneous improvement may occur in weeks to months. However, if there are structural issues or nerve damage, the patient may require further interventions, such as medications, bladder training, or additional surgical procedures. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is essential to monitor and manage the condition effectively.

What can happen to a patient if the foley catheter is clamped off and the urine has backed up into the patient?
It is quite common for a catheter to be clamped off. Unfortunately not as common as it should be. When this is done the urine will be retained in the bladder. This is not a bad thing -> its what the bladder was designed for. The only problem with this is that if the catheter clamp is left on for an excessive amount of time it may cause pain (like a strong urge to go to the toilet) as the urine collects in the bladder or cause retrograde ureteric flow back to the bladder. One of the problems of NOT clamping a catheter is bladder shrinkage which can lead to urine bypassing (coming out down the sides of the catheter tube) by various mechanisms. bladder shrinkage can be a problem when the catheter is removed.
