Oh, that was in relation to another procedure, I think.
I'd never heard of green laser surgery, so I looked it up & ended up at
https://greenlighturology.co.nz/laser-prostate-surgery.htm
which I think is just removing some of the prostate.

But would the bit about bicarbonate still apply in my case, in relation to reducing urination discomfort post-catheter?

Peter, Yes you are correct about catheter removal one day after Green Light Laser.
It was a total cluster***k because of my insurance. The hospital at which the surgery was to be done was dropping my plan on Good Friday at midnight.
I only wanted my Uro at that time to do the procedure so it was done on Good Friday 6 AM. She and her staff were off for the rest of the weekend so I had to wear the cath for 3 days. Easter really sucked that year!
