First seen Feb 22, 2026 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study looked at whether it is safe to remove the bladder catheter early (3 days after surgery) in patients who had surgery to fix a colovesical fistula, a connection between the colon and bladder. Researchers compared these patients to a historical group who had the catheter removed later. The goal was to see if early removal reduces discomfort without increasing complications like urine leaks.
