Abstract This prospective randomized controlled study was conducted to investigate the effect of non-use, immediate post-operative removal of Foleys catheter and its removal 6 hour after elective CS on rate of UTI. Three groups of women (total n=405) were included randomly; group A of 135 women who were catheterized under aseptic conditions and the catheter was removed 6 hours post-operatively, group B of 135 women who were catheterized, but the catheter was removed immediately after the procedure, and group C of 135 women who were not catheterized. All women were asked for post-operative symptoms suggesting of UTI and microscopic culture sensitivity to assess significant bacteriuria. Time to first ambulation, first urination, first oral intake and first intestinal sounds were also evaluated.
