Randomized Control Trial to Assess Postoperative Pain After Sling Placement
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Stress Urinary Incontinence
In brief
There are many ways to perform a suprapubic approach pubovaginal sling. Some surgeons inject local pain medical into the retropubic space before placing the sling, others do not. This study is to determine if injection of local pain medication into the retropubic space before placing a mid-urethral sling for urinary stress incontinence results in lower postoperative pain scores, lower use of postoperative narcotic medication and lower rates of urinary retention.
