Catheter freedom: new study says Day-One removal may be just as safe
NCT ID NCT06344884
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether women who had surgery for prolapse or incontinence could safely remove their urinary catheter at home one day after surgery, instead of waiting 3-4 days. 128 women who failed a voiding trial before leaving the hospital took part. The main goal was to see if early removal led to more cases of needing the catheter put back in or having to use self-catheterization. The results help guide how long catheters should stay in after these surgeries.
