NCT03835351

Brief Summary

This will be a randomized controlled study which will compare the rate of post-operative urinary retention after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair between patients who receive an intra-operative urinary catheter and those who do not. The primary aim of the study is to determine if the use of intra-operative urinary catheter reduces the incidence of post-operative urinary retention after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Specific patient inclusion criteria include all patients aged 18 years or older presenting for an elective unilateral or bilateral inguinal hernia repair, who are able to tolerate general anesthesia and are considered eligible to have a hernia repair through a laparoscopic approach.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Participants With Post Operative Urinary Retention

    The rate of postoperative urinary retention requiring insertion of a urinary catheter

    From the day of surgery until postoperative day 30

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Number of Participants With Intraoperative Bladder Injuries

    Measured from Beginning of Anesthesia to the End of Anesthesia and up to 4 hours Post Operatively

  • Number of Participants Who Have Complications From Intra-operative Urinary Catheter

    From the day of surgery until postoperative day 30

  • Number of Participants With Complications Urinary Catheter Who Develop Retention

    From the day of surgery until postoperative day 30

Study Arms (2)

Intraoperative urinary catheter

OTHER

After induction of general anesthesia, a standard catheterization kit available at the institution where the surgery is being performed will be used to place the urinary catheter using standard sterile technique.

Device: Urinary Catheter

No intraoperative urinary catheter

NO INTERVENTION

No intraoperative urinary catheter will be used during the case

Interventions

An intraoperative urinary catheter will be inserted which will be taken out at the end of the case

Also known as: Foley
Intraoperative urinary catheter
