Brief Summary
To determine whether partially filling the bladder after outpatient gynaecological laparoscopy expedites time to first void and discharge. Methods: A single site, single-blinded, randomized control trial in which eligible patients undergo partial retrograde bladder filling immediately post-operatively compared to bladder drainage and foley catheter removal. Primary outcome is time to first void, secondary outcomes include time to discharge, post-operative complications and patient satisfaction.

Study Arms (2)
Retrograde filled
EXPERIMENTALThis arm will contain patients who had retrograde bladder filling upon completion of surgery with 200 milliliters (mL) of sterile saline.
Control
NO INTERVENTIONThis arm will contain patients who simply had the urinary catheter removed upon completion of surgery, and were left with an empty bladder.
Interventions
The bladder will be filled with a large syringe through the urinary catheter (which is left in place for the surgery) with 200mL of sterile saline, and then the catheter will be removed.
