Urethral Stricture, Bulbar
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn when is the best time to remove a Foley catheter (tube used to drain urine from the bladder) after surgery in adult men who have a specific type of urethral stricture disease (narrowing of the tube that carries urine from the body). The main question it aims to answer is: \- Is there a difference between removing the catheter at 7-10 days versus 18-21 days? Researchers will compare Foley removal at 7-10 days to removal at 18-21 days to see if there is a difference in problems after surgery or if the narrowing returns. Participants will: * Complete a survey before surgery, when the catheter is removed, and within 12 months after surgery * Complete follow-up visits after surgery based on your specific medical needs and standard of care
