Retrospective cohort of in-office backfill-assisted voiding trial versus at-home catheter discontinuation with autofill voiding trial on the day after urogynecologic surgery

To decrease patient and provider burden, we performed A Postoperative Cohort Study Assessing Healthcare Utilization and Feasibility of Transurethral Catheter Self-Discontinuation (FLOTUS) to examine at-home VT as a possible alternative to in-office VT following gynecologic surgery. FLOTUS subjects were given instructions on performing at-home catheter self-discontinuation with autofill VT ( “at-home VT”) on postoperative day (POD) 1. Passing at-home VT was defined as voiding at least 150 mL over 6 hours.
