Summary

This study looked at how satisfied patients are with two ways of managing difficulty urinating after gynecologic surgery: having the catheter removed at the clinic or removing it themselves at home. The focus was on people living in rural areas who may have trouble traveling to appointments. The study was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no results are available.
