Comparing Force of Stream to Retrograde Fill Voiding Trial After Vaginal Apex Suspension

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Vaginal Apical Prolapse

In brief

Voiding difficulties are common after prolapse and incontinence surgeries. All patients after vaginal prolapse surgery must complete a voiding trial if they are to be discharged home without a catheter. Accepted protocols for voiding trials after prolapse and incontinence surgeries do not exist. The purpose of this study is to compare two different types of postoperative voiding trials to determine which leads to less postoperative issues, such as urinary retention requiring catheterization. You are being asked to participate because you are having a vaginal apex suspension surgery.

You may qualify if…

• Women undergoing vaginal apex surgery (sacrocolpopexy, sacrospinous ligament suspension, uterosacral ligament suspension, colpocleisis) with or without mid-urethral sling, with or without anterior or posterior colporrhaphy

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 with baseline urinary retention and the inability to urinate without catheterization
• Pregnant women
