mgl,

I have heard on this forum from 6 to 7 days up to three weeks.  I had mind in for 13 days primarily due to scheduling issues.  My surgeon's protocol called for 10 days.

Mgl,

Ours is 10 days (get it out Friday). Have heard under "normal" circumstances, 7-12 days for Da Vinci.

I had mine for a total of 15 days, I got it out the first time after 9 days but later that day had to have it put back in for another 6 days due to some problems. I have seen many here get them out in that 7 to 8 day time frame and few other take longer.

Just under five days here.  Do I hold the record?? LOL Had surgery on a Friday evening and got the sucker pulled out early the next Wednesday afternoon.  They did the preliminary imaging stuff to see that the urethra-bladder connection looked OK but I did wonder if the cath. removal was a bit premature.  Anyway, things worked out, although I did have some unusual bleeding and clots about four weeks later. All's fine now though.
