Active Comparator
Experimental Arm
The catheterized arm will have Standard of care Foley urinary catheter insertion according to usual institutional care pathways in the operating room prior to surgery initiation. The urinary catheter will be assessed for removal on the morning of post-operative day 1, and patients will be monitored for urinary complications once catheter is removed until patient has successfully voided spontaneously within 8 +/- 2 hours.
The non-catheterized arm will have standard of care Foley urinary catheter insertion, with no Foley Urinary Catheter inserted prior to, during, or after surgery unless the patient is showing signs of urinary retention after surgery. Patient will be monitored for urinary complications starting in the recovery room until patient has successfully voided spontaneously within 8 +/- 2 hours
