Early Patient Removal of Urinary Catheters After Urogynecologic Surgery

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Management of postoperative urinary retention often requires the use of indwelling catheters. In a previous study, the investigators determined that patient removal of catheters at home is non-inferior to standard office removal on postoperative day three or four (POD3-4). The purpose of this study is to determine whether patient removal of catheters at home on postoperative day one (POD1) is noninferior to removal on POD 3-4.
