Colovesical fistula (CVF) are the most common occurring fistulae secondary to diverticulitis. Review of the literature reveals great variability in postoperative Foley catheter management, as well as the role of a cystogram. The purpose of this study was to review our experience in early vs. late removal of the Foley catheter after CVF repair secondary to diverticulitis. Our hypothesis was that early Foley catheter removal is not associated with increased complications, and postoperative cystogram is of low value.
