Summary

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.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, randomized, two-parallel arm, non-inferiority trial to evaluate two methods of catheter discontinuation in women with post-operative urinary retention (POUR) after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or stress urinary incontinence (SUI). This study will evaluate whether self-discontinuation of transurethral catheter by patients is non-inferior to standard office discontinuation based on rates of persistent POUR on post-operative day (POD) 1.
