Brief Summary

The use of an indwelling catheter for the first 24 hours after routine hysterectomy has been based on custom with no evidence based support. Indwelling urinary catheter associated with a higher incidence of symptomatic urinary tract infections, post operative pyrexia, catheter associated pain,delayed ambulation time  and longer hospital stay however more chances of retention of urine in case of no indwelling catheter.So this study is designed for comparing post operative outcomes of patients planned for NDVH with or without indwelling foleys catheter
