Does a Preoperative Bowel Regimen Change Time to First Bowel Movement After Robotic Sacral Colpopexy

Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Constipation, Post-Op Complication

In brief

The hypothesis is that starting a bowel regimen with Polyethylene Glycol prior to robotic assisted sacrocolpopexy will decrease time to first bowel movement after surgery. The experimental group will take a pre-operative course of polyethylene glycol daily for seven days prior to procedure date. The control group will not be given any intervention preoperatively. All patients will take polyethylene glycol postoperatively.
