NCT03126162

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to determine if backfilling the bladder immediately post-operatively, prior to removal of the foley catheter, in patients undergoing same-day total laparoscopic hysterectomy will hasten time to first spontaneous void and time to discharge

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Time to first spontaneous void

    Our primary hypothesis is that patients who undergo same-day total laparoscopic hysterectomy that are randomized into the group who have their bladders backfilled with 200 cc normal saline post-operatively, prior to removal of the foley catheter will have a shorter time to first spontaneous void.

    From the date of randomization until the date of discharge from the hospital, assessed up to 4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Time to discharge from the hospital after same-day laparoscopic hysterectomy

    From the date of randomization until the date of discharge from the hospital, assessed up to 4 weeks

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Post-operative urinary retention rates

    From the date of randomization until the date of discharge from the hospital, assessed up to 4 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Bladder Backfilled group

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects randomized to the bladder backfilled group (Group A) will have 200 mL of normal saline instilled into their bladders prior to removal of the foley catheter. The foley catheter will subsequently be removed

Procedure: InstilIing normal saline into bladderProcedure: Removal of foley catheter

Control group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Subjects randomized to the control group (Group B) will just have their foley catheters removed at the end of the surgery. This is routinely done post-operatively after routine gynecologic surgery.

Procedure: Removal of foley catheter

Interventions

Backfilling the bladder with 200 mL of normal saline immediately postoperatively, prior to foley catheter removal, after same-day total laparoscopic hysterectomy can potentially increase time to first spontaneous void and time to discharge.

Bladder Backfilled group

Removal of the foley catheter is routinely performed after same-day laparoscopic hysterectomy
