Clinical Trial Summary

Patients undergoing surgical repair of colovesical fistula will have have "early" (post-operative day 3) cystogram and removal of bladder catheter. Outcomes from the "early" group will be compared to historical "late" group data to determine if early bladder catheter removal is safe.

Description:

There is defined time for foley/bladder catheter removal after colovesical fistula repair in the current surgical literature. This study will be a prospective cohort study evaluating outcomes after early foley catheter removal (on post-operative day 3), specifically bladder leak, 30-day readmissions and adverse events. This cohort will be compared to a retrospective "late" group, who had foley catheter removal later in their hospital course.

Intervention

Procedure:
• Removal of Foley Catheter 2 to 3 days post Colovesical Fistula (CVF) repair surgery
According to review of internal clinical practices, the average duration of catheterization after Colovesical Fistula (CVF) repair is 10.8 days after CVF repair. The intervention in this study removes the Foley Catheter at 2 to 3 days post CVF repair.
