Detailed Description
Preoperatively, the enrolled patient receives information about risks and benefits of three ways of bladder catheterization as means of management of postoperative urinary retention. Based on this information, the patient chooses her preferred way of postoperative catheterization in case she experiences acute urinary retention after surgery. After the surgery, those patients requiring catheterization postoperatively evaluate their experience in a postoperative questionnaire.
