NCT01583166

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in post-operative voiding function between subjects receiving local anesthetic and those receiving placebo at the time of mid-urethral sling placement. The secondary objective is to evaluate pain after the procedure in the two groups.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Subjects Who Passed the Voiding Trial After a Midurethral Sling

    Study team assessment of whether the use of local anesthetic has any affect on the percentage of patients who pass their post-operative bladder challenge. This is determined by their voided volume and post-void residual.

    2 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Post-operative Pain Scores at 2-3 Hours Post op

    2-3 hours

  • Post-operative Pain Scale at 6-7 Hours Post op

    6-7 hours

  • Visual Analog Scale for Pain: Pre-operative.
