How common is bacteria in the urine of patients with urinary catheters after radical surgery on the prostate for prostate cancer and does it get cleared one week after removing the catheter

This study is looking at how often bacteria are found in the urine of men who have had their prostate removed (radical prostatectomy) for prostate cancer while they still have a urinary catheter in place. The study also checks whether the bacteria clears within one week of removing the catheter. This information could help doctors better manage the risk of urinary tract infections after this surgery. You may be eligible if: - You are a male patient undergoing radical prostatectomy at Hollywood Private Hospital, St John of God Hospital Subiaco, or Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital You may NOT be eligible if: - You have a pre-existing urinary infection at the time of surgery Talk to your doctor about whether this trial might be right for you.
