Text: There was no significant difference in the amount of blood loss, while initial spontaneous voiding occurred significantly earlier (3. 5 + / - 2. 3 versus 5. 8 + / - 0. 1 hours, p < 0. 01), the number of patients in whom initial spontaneous voiding occurred more than 6 hours postoperatively was fewer (2 versus 10, p = 0. 01), amount of post-void residual during hospitalization was significantly less (98 + / - 63 versus 155 + / - 56 ml., p < 0. 01) and length of hospital stay was significantly shorter (3. 4 + / - 1. 4 versus 5. 5 + / - 1. 6 days, p < 0. 01) in the local anesthesia compared to epidural group.
