Algorithm for duration of urinary catheterization. A total of 113 cases were collected, but after excluding those with concomitant resection of other organs, urethral-related urological procedures, and catheter removal after POD6 for no particular reason (n = 13), 100 cases were included in the study. A total of 74 cases (74.0%) were catheter-free within five days, including one that had the catheter reinserted due to urinary dysfunction, but was removed immediately (≤ POD5). Of the 26 patients with long-term urinary catheterization, 25 underwent initial reinsertion and 12 underwent a second reinsertion, of which 5 patients (5.0%) were switched to clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC)
