First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether removing a urinary catheter one day after colorectal surgery is as safe as the standard three days. About 176 adults having certain pelvic surgeries will be randomly assigned to early or standard removal. The goal is to see if shorter use lowers infection rates without increasing the chance of urinary retention.
