Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Urinary retention is one of the most common complications of radical hysterectomy in patients with cervical cancer, with an incidence of 26-53% depending on the diagnostic criteria. The most common method to prevent urinary retention after radical hysterectomy is continuous catheterization, but up to 14.5% of patients need continuous catheterization for more than 4 weeks, because catheterization is an invasive procedure, increasing the risk of urinary tract infection, and long-term postoperative retention of urinary catheter caused by edema of the vesicourethral sphincter and urethral glands. Obstruction of bladder outlet caused by increased urethral outflow resistance may also lead to postoperative urinary retention, thus forming a vicious cycle and aggravating urinary retention. In our previous retrospective analysis, it was confirmed that acupuncture and moxibustion were effective in restoring bladder function after radical hysterectomy. Compared with the control group, the incidence of urinary retention in patients receiving acupuncture and moxibustion was reduced from 44.17% to 24.17%, and no serious adverse reactions occurred, and the patients had good tolerance. We plan to conduct further randomized controlled studies to confirm this.

Inclusion Criteria: 1\) The subjects voluntarily joined the study, signed the informed consent, had good compliance, and cooperated with the follow-up; (2) Female, ≥18 years of age (calculated on the date of signing the informed consent); (3) Pathological diagnosis of cervical cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous cell carcinoma, preoperative cervical lesions ≤4cm; (4) No history of urinary system infection and urinary retention; (5) Undergoing radical abdominal hysterectomy; (6) On the third day after surgery, vital signs were stable, no discomfort symptoms (such as abnormal abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, chest tightness, etc.) of CTCAE 5.0 standard 2 or above, and no abnormal increase in body temperature (≥38.5°C); (7) The function of vital organs meets the following requirements: Absolute neutrophil count ≥1.5×109/L; Platelet ≥100×109/L; Hemoglobin ≥80g/L; Serum albumin ≥2.5g/dL; Bilirubin ≤1.5 ULN; ALT and AST≤3 times ULN; Serum creatinine ≤1.5 ULN; INR≤1.5 or prothrombin time ≤ULN+4 seconds. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Suffering from diseases that may affect bladder function, such as uterine prolapse, vaginal wall bulge, lower urinary tract obstruction, bladder tumor, urethral injury, urinary tract stones, urinary tract infection, spinal cord injury, and sequelae of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases; 2. Poor compliance and failure to strictly carry out full treatment; 3. Use of neostigmine and other drugs that affect bladder function; 4. Patients with serious diseases of important organs and mental diseases; 5. There were random postoperative discomfort symptoms with the severity reaching CTCAE 5.0 level 2 or above; 6. There is an active infection or prerandom unexplained fever ≥38.5°C; 7. Patients with clinical symptoms or diseases of heart that are not well controlled, such as: NYHA2 or above heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, myocardial infarction within 1 year, clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmia requiring treatment or intervention; 8. diabetic patients; 9. In the judgment of the investigator, the subjects have other factors that may lead to the forced termination of the study, such as other serious diseases (including mental illness) requiring combined treatment, serious abnormalities in laboratory tests, and family or social factors that may affect the safety of the subjects or the collection of data.
