Early catheter removal following radical perineal prostatectomy: a randomized clinical trial.
Radical perineal prostatectomy allows for a watertight closure of the urethrovesical anastomosis. This trial determined that early catheter removal may be feasible and desirable in patients undergoing radical perineal prostatectomy. Early catheter removal can lead to improved patient comfort and well-being.
