Abstract
On the basis of answers to a questionary in which the patient subjectively described his own micturition,we grouped the responses into three stages depending on their scores and used these scores for postoperative training of urination. Since analysis of variance and t-test found a significant correlation between the score and the amount of urine pooled in the bladder or the amount of urination,we propose to determine the score of each patient when the amount of urine pooled in the bladder becomes 300～400 ml in a given period of observation during postoperative training of urination and to direct the patient to urinate when his response coincides with the determined score. In order to effectually perform training of urination using scores,it is necessary to make the patient fully understand the necessity of water ingestion and to check the amount of water ingestion and the total amount of urination.
