Summary

This study looks at the best time to remove a Foley catheter after surgery for a narrowed urethra in adult men. It compares removing the catheter at 7-10 days versus 18-21 days to see if earlier removal leads to similar outcomes. Participants will complete surveys and follow-up visits for up to a year after surgery.
