Summary
This study looks at how long a urinary catheter should stay in after colorectal surgery. Currently, catheters are kept for 3 days to prevent urine retention, but this can increase infection risk and hospital stay. Researchers want to see if removing the catheter after just 1 day works just as well. About 176 adults having certain colorectal surgeries will be randomly assigned to 1-day or 3-day catheter removal.
