Assessment of Two Postoperative Techniques Used to Predict Voiding Efficiency After Gynecologic Surgery

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Urinary Incontinence

In brief

After gynecologic surgery, it may be difficult to void (urinate). This problem is usually short-term with normal function returning within a few days to a few weeks. For this reason, patients may require drainage of their bladder with a catheter immediately after surgery. Currently in our office, we use two different tests to see how well you are able to urinate and how quickly the catheter can be removed. The purpose of this study is to see which voiding test is better after gynecologic surgery.
