Trends in Perioperative Urinary Catheter Utilization by Surgical Procedure Type in the United States, 2010–2017: Evidence From the Nationwide Inpatient Sample

Subspecialty variation suggests that adherence to catheter stewardship may be influenced by procedural norms and surgical specialty-specific practices. Enhanced protocol-driven approaches, particularly nurse-led catheter removal and integration into ERAS pathways, warrant broader implementation.
