Shorter catheter time after penis surgery? new trial tests if 7 days is enough
NCT ID NCT07220980
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at the best time to remove a Foley catheter after bulbar urethroplasty, a surgery to fix a narrowed urethra. Researchers will compare removing the catheter at 7-10 days versus 18-21 days in 320 adult men. The goal is to see if earlier removal leads to similar rates of stricture return and complications, potentially allowing a faster recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Foley catheter removal timing (7-10 days vs 18-21 days)
What this could lead to
If earlier removal works as well, men could have a shorter recovery and less discomfort after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage trial with 320 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Earlier removal might increase the risk of stricture recurrence or complications.
