I'm having a hysterectomy and a bladder lift done with the da vinci arm at the same time. will i have to go home with a catheter?

Dr. Jeff Lin answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Fairly likely: But feel free to check with your surgeon's office or ask him/her in the preoperative area; or you can wait until after the surgery and find out based on whether there is a catheter and whether the discharge instructions talk about catheter care. Best of luck!!
