Removal of the indwelling catheter and vaginal pack 3 h after vaginal POP surgery does not lead to more postoperative complications than removal the 1st day after surgery. Therefore, early removal is a feasible and safe alternative to the standard timing of removal the morning after surgery of women undergoing POP surgery. In the future this could help with introducing same-day discharge.
