Most surgeons will work with you regarding concern about risk of infection due to catheterization. The infections from Foleys are usually due to long term indwelling catheters. If you are incontinent there may be reasons why the surgeon prefers to have you controlled during the surgery. If you do not want the catheter to be indwelling, you could ask that you be "straight cathed" prior to and during the surgery. If you have a latex allergy, the surgeon will order a PVC catheter. If you tell your doctor why you are afraid to have the Foley, then most doctors will allay your fears or allow you to refuse an indwelling catheter.
