Urinary Catheter Self-Discontinuation After Urogynecology Surgery
Status unconfirmed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Urinary Retention, Pelvic Organ Prolapse, Stress Urinary Incontinence, Catheter Related Complication
In brief
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine if removal of transurethral urinary catheters by patients at home is as safe as catheter removal in the office following urogynecologic surgery. Participants will be randomized to either standard catheter removal in the office or catheter self-removal at home.
