Study Summary
This trial found that early identification of urinary retention can prevent bladder over-distention, ischemia & long-term voiding dysfunction.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for nonpregnant women over 18 who are having surgery for pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence. It's not open to those with preoperative voiding issues requiring self-catheterization, recurrent UTIs, bladder injuries during surgery, intolerance to at least 150cc backfill, neuromuscular disorders, or pregnancy.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is looking at the best volume of fluid to use when testing if patients can urinate properly after urogynecologic surgery. Women will be randomly placed into a control group or a test group to determine this optimal volume.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't detailed here, potential risks may include discomfort from the backfill procedure and symptoms related to urinary retention such as pain or difficulty urinating.
