Objective- to determine the outcome without using urinary catheter during caesarean section Methods- a prospective randomized controlled trial was carried out from January 2015 to December 2015 in the department of obstetrics & gynecology, kalinga institute of medical sciences, Bhubaneswar. Total 300 patients are included in the study. Half of them was catheterized &rest without catheter. Results-there was no significant difference between duration of surgery between two groups. But the group in which catheter was used were associated with sign & symptoms of urinary tract infection (P<0.001).higher incidence of urinary infection in this group determined by microscopic examination & also culture (P<0.001).hospital stay is relatively shorter in nonuser group (P<0.05) Conclusions-caesarean section can be conducted safely with less morbidity if no urinary catheter used
