Comparing Voiding Trials After Midurethral Sling for Stress Incontinence
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Stress Urinary Incontinence, Urethral Hypermobility, Cystocele
In brief
Urinary incontinence is a prevalent health and quality of life concern affecting almost half of women over the age of 20. Urinary retention (abnormal holding of urine) is a concern of many surgeons who perform midurethral sling surgery. All patients after outpatient midurethral sling or vaginal prolpase surgery must complete a voiding trial if they are to be discharged without a catheter. The purpose of this study is to compare two different types of postoperative voiding trials to determine which leads to less post-operative issues, such as urinary retention requiring catheterization. You are being asked to participate because you are having midurethral sling surgery, either with or without vaginal prolapse repair.

You may qualify if…
- Postoperative patients after placement of midurethral sling (retropubic sling or transobturator) with or without anterior or posterior colporrhaphy.
- Ability to provide informed consent and complete all study requirements
You may not qualify if…
- Patients who underwent a surgery that requires long term catheterization (i.e fistula repair or urethral diverticulum)
- Patients who sustained a cystotomy during surgery as our divisional protocol is to send these patients home with a Foley catheter for 5-14 days without a voiding trial
- Patients who had an apical repair for pelvic organ prolapse (Uterosacral vaginal vault suspension, Abdominal sacral colpopexy, sacrospinous ligament fixation)
