C-Section catheter questioned: new study suggests skipping it may be safe
NCT ID NCT06242756
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether using a bladder catheter during planned C-sections is necessary. 60 women were randomly assigned to either have a catheter or not. Researchers measured how long it took to recover and go home, how soon they could walk, and rates of urinary tract infections and bladder injury. The goal was to see if skipping the catheter could lead to faster recovery and fewer complications.
