Post-operative Residual Voiding Volume Following Bulking and Vaginal Prolapse Surgery and Impact on In-hospital Stay
Post operative urinary retention is a commonly observed complication following women undergoing urogynecology surgery. The trial includes patients undergoing bulking and vaginal prolapse surgery, who are randomized in two postoperative groups prior to surgery in order to test two void regimes. One group includes a strict voiding regime, where patients are discharged when voiding volume is minimum 150 ml and residual volume is maximum 200 ml. Comparatively, the minimalistic voiding group discharge patients after one spontaneous voiding, independent of voiding volume and residual volume. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate time to discharge in two different voiding trials techniques (strict vs minimalistic) after anterior, posterior or vaginal vault prolapse surgery as well as bulking surgery. Secondly, to register the development of postoperative urinary tract infection, urine retention, gynecological pain and patients' calls to the gynecological ward after discharge.
• • Women who undergo anterior, posterior or vaginal vault prolapse surgery or bulking surgery at the departments of obstetric and gynecology, OUH.
‣ Women who have the catheter removed at the operating room.
