What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

The goal of this prospective, randomized trial is to determine the optimal duration of urinary catheterization in patients that receive elective, right-sided colectomy. The main objectives of this study are:

* To compare rates of urinary retention in patients with post operative urinary catheter duration of 0 days and 1 day following right-sided colectomy.

* To compare rates of urinary tract infection (UTI) in patients with postoperative urinary catheter duration of 0 days and 1 day following right-sided colectomy.

Enrolled participants will be randomized to one of two groups, immediate removal of urinary catheter at the conclusion of the operation or removal of urinary catheter on post operative day one.
