Open simple retropubic prostatectomy is commonly used because it gives direct access to the prostate with improved achievement of haemostasis, early recovery, and less risk of bladder neck stenosis. Urethral catheter (UC) is traditionally used following prostatectomy, not only for drainage of the urinary bladder but also for stenting, and it sometimes results in haemostasis. There is no consensus on the duration of urethral catheterisation, which varies between surgeons and institutions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We aimed to compare the early clinical outcomes following 3rd day (early) versus 6th day (delayed) UC removal following open simple retropubic prostatectomy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study was a prospective, hospital-based, randomised comparative study.
