Self-Removal of a Urinary Catheter After Urogynecologic Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

CONCLUSION: Self-discontinuation of a transurethral catheter was noninferior to office-based discontinuation in the setting of postoperative urinary retention after pelvic reconstructive surgery. Self-discontinuation resulted in fewer patient encounters and improved patient experience. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02996968.
