That's interesting. Never heard of it.
Just reading about it.
" After laser prostate surgery, the catheter can usually be removed early in the morning the day after surgery. Once you have had plenty to drink and have passed urine a few times, you will be free to go home.
Passing urine will sting to begin with, and drinking bicarbonate sachets will help by making the urine less acidic."
Is it this?

and has anyone tried it after a prostatectomy?

There’s something wrong with what you have read. Because the prostate has been removed they have to reconnect the urethra since the prostate has been removed, it’s two separate pieces that have to be reconnected between the bladder and the penis. That doesn’t heal overnight. It takes a couple of weeks to heal properly.
I can assure you that no one here, that has had their prostate removed, has had that catheter taken out the next day. It doesn’t heal that quick.
