Trial of Void With Saline Bladder Instillation

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Urethral Catheter Removal After Urologic Procedure

In brief

This study is being done to see if there is a difference between the traditional method of removing a urethral catheter after surgery and waiting for the patient to urinate on their own to the saline instillation method which places either room temperature or warmed saline into the patient's bladder through the catheter before removing the catheter.
