NCT ID NCT05313945
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether letting a bladder catheter fall out on its own (passive removal) is better than having a nurse pull it out (active removal) after urological surgery. 160 men will be randomly assigned to one method. Researchers will measure satisfaction, pain, and anxiety. The goal is to find which approach is more comfortable for patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Procedure: passive catheter removal vs active removal by nurse
What this could lead to
If passive removal works better, it could become a standard, less painful way to remove catheters after urological surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (160 men) and results may not apply to all patients or surgeries. The difference between methods might be small.
