ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how different methods of removing a bladder catheter affect patient satisfaction. After certain surgeries, a bladder catheter is often used to help patients urinate. In the usual process, a nurse manually pulls out the catheter, but this trial is comparing that method to a technique where the catheter is removed simply by allowing gravity to do the work. Researchers want to find out which method leaves patients feeling better and also how much pain and anxiety they experience during the process.

To participate in this trial, you need to be a male at least 18 years old who has had a specific type of surgery that requires a bladder catheter. It's important that you can manage your personal hygiene on your own and understand the study's goals. If you join, you'll be randomly assigned to one of the two removal methods, and you'll be asked about your experience afterward. This study aims to gather useful information to improve patient care after surgeries involving bladder catheters.
