Voiding trials are a routine part of Urogynecologic surgery. Management of postoperative urinary retention often requires the use of indwelling catheters. However, patients often view the need for catheters as the worst part of their surgical experience, and follow-up voiding trials in the office utilize excess healthcare resources. Many Urology practices allow patient removal of catheters after procedures, though this has not been formally studied. The purpose of this study is to see if patient removal of catheters at home is non-inferior to standard office removal.
