Exclusion criteria: Patients who already have an indwelling bladder catheter or are performing intermittent self-catheterization preoperatively. Patients with a history of urethral injury or urethral stricture. Patients with spinal cord paralysis below the thoracic level or sensory impairment. Patients scheduled to receive epidural anesthesia for postoperative analgesia. Patients diagnosed with dementia. Patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Patients with uncontrolled urinary tract infection prior to surgery. Patients with a history of pelvic radiation therapy. Patients with current or past allergic reactions to natural rubber latex.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The total amount of urinary incontinence on the day after catheter removal (from 0:00 to 24:00).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1) Number of urinary pad changes at 1 month after surgery 2) Incidence and severity of CRBD (catheter-related bladder discomfort) during catheterization at the specified time points* (0: no CRBD, 1: mild, 2: moderate, 3: severe) 3) Incidence and severity of urethral pain during catheterization at the specified time points*, evaluated using the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale 4) Incidence of adverse events** *The specified time points are defined as immediately upon return to the ward (postoperative 0 hours), and at 6, 24, 48, and 72 hours postoperatively. **Adverse events will be collected up to the day after catheter removal. However, events that are clearly attributable to catheter insertion occurring after the day following catheter removal will continue to be collected.
