Brief summary

The primary objective is to describe the safety and efficacy of intravenous sodium fluorescein to visualize ureteral efflux during intraoperative cystoscopy after total laparoscopic hysterectomy. Secondary objective is to report on surgeon's satisfaction with the overall use of sodium fluorescein.

Detailed description

Thirty patients (n=30) ongoing a total laparoscopic hysterectomy in a tertiary gynecological reference center will be included in this prospective descriptive study.Once hysterectomy is completed, a 10 % solution of sodium fluorescein at a 0,25 ml dose will be injected before performing diagnostic cystoscopy. Time from injection to fluorescent visualization will be recorded as well as coloration density. Adverse events are collected in the operating room, in the recovery room, before patient's discharge and through a home survey.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Quality of Ureteral Efflux Coloration With Sodium Fluorescein Collected With Dedicated Questionnairewithin 15 minutes after the beginning of cystoscopyTime of visualisation of turbulence, time of visualisation of coloration and quality of ureteral efflux coloration (clearly visible or somewhat visible or not visible)
Adverse Reaction Related to Sodium Fluorescein InjectionFrom sodium fluorescein injection to follow-up 2 months after surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Surgeon Satisfaction Regarding Ureteral Efflux Visualization by Filling Out a Dedicated Questionnaireafter cystoscopy (up to 15 min after injection)For each participant, surgeon had 3 options to evaluate their satisfaction regarding ureteral efflux coloration with sodium fluorescein during the surgery : very satisfied or satisfied or unacceptable
