Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Among patients who underwent vaginal Surgery for pelvic organ prolapse, composite urinary outcome [urinary tract infection + recatheterisation rates] will be compared between the study group (catheter removal at 12 hours) and control group (removal at 24 hours) Primary outcome is the rates of UTI and rates of recatheterisation in the 2 groups.Timepoint: Urinary tract infection will be assesed after removal of the urinary catheter by taking a sterile sample of urine during catheter removal after surgery.( which could be at 12 hours or 24 hours dependion the study group). Need for recatheterisation will be assesed after the patient has voided after catheter removal ( after checking PVR volume and assessing for symptoms of urinary retention in the patient.) Other than this, Outcomes wont be assesed at any further time points.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the post operative pain/discomfort due to catheter with the help of a subjective pain assessment scale in the two groups.Timepoint: Post operative pain/ discomfort due to the catheter will be assesed after 12 hours in the study group & after 24 hours in the control group, before removal of the urinary catheter.
