How to deal with catheter while recovering after prostate surgery?

I agree with you a 100%. Those of us who will have prostate surgery need to use the bag (leg bag or night bag) to drain the urine that comes out of the bladder, as it comes out, not after it accumulates. So, I can't imagine urolgists will agree if we request to replace the bag with a valve.

Agree100%. I didn’t have prostate surgery and didn’t realize that it involves stitching the urethra to the bladder. My comments on using a valve would only apply to longer term use after the anastomosis is fully healed.

Don't worry about that - it is impossible scenario ;).
