First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 130 women having laparoscopic hysterectomy with same-day discharge. Half had an active voiding trial (catheter filled and removed) and half had a passive trial (catheter removed and waited to pee). The goal was to see which method gets patients home faster. The study is complete and may help improve recovery after surgery.
