Brief Summary: 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
Detailed Description: Randomized controlled non-inferiority trial to compare the risk of urinary retention between patient urinary catheter removal on POD1 versus POD3-4 after urogynecologic surgery

Aim One Is the risk of urinary retention non-inferior with patient removal of transurethral catheters on POD1 versus POD3-4 after urogynecologic surgery

Aim Two Does healthcare resource utilization nursing calls patient messages and office visits differ between patient removal of transurethral catheters on POD1 versus POD3-4

Aim Three Does the patient experience differ between patient removal of transurethral catheters on POD1 versus POD3-4

Aim Four Does the incidence of postoperative UTI differ between patient removal of transurethral catheters on POD1 versus POD3-4

Aim Five Does the risk of delayed or recurrent postoperative urinary retention differ between patient removal of transurethral catheters on POD1 versus POD3-4

Screening Preoperative clinics at UNC Rex Urogynecology will be screened for all women who are undergoing a prolapse or anti-incontinence procedure

Study TreatmentIntervention

Postoperatively if patients fail their voiding trial in the post-anesthesia care unit PACU and are willing to perform home catheter removal after instruction

Patients will be randomized to a catheter management arm self-catheter removal on POD1 or POD3-4

POD 1 - Patients in the intervention arm will be reminded to remove their catheters

They will be instructed to remove their urinary catheter at 0700 and to call the clinic office by noon if they have not voided

If they are unable to void or have any other concerning symptoms they will be scheduled for a same day nurse visit

Patients who are unable to void will then be taught clean intermittent self-catheterization per usual management of postoperative voiding dysfunction

POD 3 or by POD 4 for Thursday cases - Patients in the control arm will be reminded to remove their catheters

Patients undergoing surgery on Thursday will perform catheter removal on Monday This is what was done in previous studies in order to prevent resource over-utilization on weekends Patients undergoing surgery on Wednesday typically only rare add-on cases will be excluded

They will be instructed to remove their urinary catheter at 0700 and to call the clinic office by noon if they have not voided

If they are unable to void or have any other concerning symptoms they will be scheduled for a same day nurse visit

Patients who are unable to void will then be taught clean intermittent self-catheterization per usual management of postoperative voiding dysfunction

Week 2 Phone Call

Patients will be called by study personnel to check in on any voiding symptoms or issues and complete phone survey regarding the following categories Pain Ease of use Satisfaction Likelihood to use again

Week 6 Visit

Patients will have a standard office visit around 6 weeks postoperatively At this visit a post-void residual assessment will be performed

Follow-up through postoperative visit after surgery

Postoperative complications such as urinary tract infection UTI or delayed urinary retention will be monitored from the chart

Patients will be randomized on the day of surgery Each subjects participation will last from the day of surgery to the day of catheter removal on POD 1-4 They will also be called two weeks postoperatively for a check-in and survey over the phone Postoperative complications will be monitored until their postoperative visit at 6-8 weeks after surgery

The recruitment and data collection period is expected to last one year The entire study including data collection analysis and publication will take up to 3 years -
