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.
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.
