Can Investigators Reduce Urinary Catheter Use and Lower Urinary Tract Infection Among Women Undergoing Benign Gynecologic Surgery?
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Urinary Tract Infections, Urinary Retention, Satisfaction
In brief
This is a randomized comparative trial investigating two different catheter management strategies among post-gynecologic surgery patients. Women undergoing any benign gynecologic surgery wherein they are anticipated to stay at least overnight and in whom no prolapse or urinary tract surgery was concurrently performed, will be randomly assigned to either conventional urinary catheter care removal on post-operative day 1 or same day surgery urinary catheter removal. Patient satisfaction and lower urinary tract symptoms including urine culture and antibiotic use will be tracked across both cohorts over the 2 weeks following the index surgery.
