What this Trial Is About
In usual practice, the removal of the bladder catheter is performed by a nurse a few days after the surgery. The nurse deflates the balloon and removes the catheter from the urethra by manual traction. To date, there are no solid data on the impact of passive catheter removal on patient satisfaction. It is therefore necessary to estimate the effect on patient satisfaction of active catheter removal by a nurse versus passive catheter removal under gravity. The effect on pain and anxiety will also be compared between the two techniques. The methodology used was that of an open-label randomized controlled trial.
