Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is a randomized controlled trial designed to assess the rate of failure of voiding trials in the early and late post-operative period within patients who underwent outpatient pelvic floor surgery that failed initial same day voiding trials.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study would be powered to detect differences in UTIs and Foley catheter re-insertion rates. Assuming a 10% drop-out rate, 100 total subjects should be enrolled in the study.

All patients that meet the appropriate inclusion criteria and are scheduled for outpatient pelvic floor surgery will be considered for the study. Patients will be counseled about the study either in the office during a surgical planning office visit, over a pre-operative telephone call, or in the pre-operative area just prior to surgery. Consents will be signed in the pre-operative area.

After surgery, the patient will be given a standardized voiding trial as per the usual protocol. If the patient is un-successful in emptying her bladder she will be discharged home with an indwelling Foley catheter with antibiotics. On post-operative day (POD) #1 the patient will be re-assessed for meeting eligibility requirements and will be called and randomized to either the early voiding trial group (EVT) or the late voiding trial group (LVT). Subjects in EVT will be scheduled for a repeat VT on POD#2, POD#3, or POD#4, whereas those in LVT will be scheduled for a repeat VT on or after POD#7. Subjects that are unsuccessful in the repeat VT will have a Foley catheter re-inserted and will return for another VT in 5-7 days. Subjects who fail the third VT from either group will have the Foley catheter replaced and will return for another office VT after waiting an additional 5-7 days or will be started on clean intermittent self-catheterization.

Subjects will be monitored for a 6 week period for voiding and urinary symptoms. Urine will be tested via in-office urinalysis at each office visit, including pre-operatively, and will be sent for a urine culture per usual practice based upon abnormal urinalysis results. Urine cultures that grow out a single organism \>10,000 CFU will be treated with appropriate antibiotics. In addition, patients will complete quality of life questionnaires at the time of catheter removal, the standard 2 week post-op visit and at 6weeks post-operatively.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Early Voiding Trial

All subjects that are discharged home with a Foley catheter will need an in-office repeat voiding trial.

Subjects in this group will have their repeat voiding trial on post-op day #2, 3, or 4

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Foley catheter - Early Voiding Trial

Intervention Type DEVICE

All subjects that are discharged home with a Foley catheter will need an in-office repeat voiding trial.

Subjects in the Early Voiding group will have their repeat voiding trial on post-op day #2, 3, or 4 will undergo an in-office voiding trial. The experimental group will return for an in-office voiding trial sooner than the active comparator.

Late Voiding Trial

All subjects that are discharged home with a Foley catheter will need an in-office repeat voiding trial.

Subjects in this group will have their repeat voiding trial on post-op day #7 or after. This is our current practice.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Foley catheter - Late Voiding Trial

Intervention Type DEVICE

All subjects that are discharged home with a Foley catheter will need an in-office repeat voiding trial.

Subjects in the Late Voiding group will have their repeat voiding trial on post-op day #7 or after. This is our current practice
