Article Description

This review explores the literature relating to the complication of urinary retention following spinal anaesthesia and in particular, in relation to lower limb orthopaedic surgery. It critically reviews aspects of care management and analyses the implications for clinical practice, as it is important to understand if interventions are causing more problems for patients and if there is a better way of reducing the risks of urinary retention, bladder distension and catheterisation.
