About this trial
The hypothesis of this trial is that the absence of systematic bladder catheterization in patients performing spontaneous urination in the hour preceding the planned cesarean section under spinal anesthesia would not lead to more bladder heterocatheterization for postpartum urinary retention (RUPP) in the 24 hours post-cesarean section than systematic intraoperative bladder catheterization up to 2 hours post-surgery.
