Summary
This study looks at whether removing a urinary catheter one day after colorectal surgery is as safe as the usual three days. The goal is to lower the chance of urinary tract infections and shorten hospital stays. About 176 adults having certain types of colorectal surgery will be randomly assigned to have the catheter removed on day 1 or day 3. The main focus is on whether patients have trouble urinating after removal.
