Pelvic Organ Prolapse, Urinary Incontinence

Brief summary

This study will compare voiding assessment based on a minimum spontaneous voided volume of 150 cc with the standard retrograde fill approach in women after pelvic floor procedures.

Interventions

PROCEDURERetrograde bladder fill

Subjects will have their bladder retrograde filled with 300mL of fluid prior to a voiding trial.

OTHERspontaneous void

Subjects will not have retrograde fill of bladder, rather will be required to void 150 mL spontaneously prior to discharge.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Failure rateUp to 2 days post opThe percentage of subjects who did not meet the required voiding assessment criteria and needed catheterization .

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Force of stream (FOS)Up to 2 days post op.Patient reported force of stream (FOS) during voiding; (0 being no urination, 10 being normal strong flow).
Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire for Voiding Assessment-method usedUp to 2 days post-surgery.This question asks How satisfied were you with the method we used to evaluate how well you could urinate after our surgery? It is measured on a continuum from 0 (very dissatisfied) to 100 (very satisfied).
Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire for Voiding Assessment-negative emotionsUp to 2 days post-surgery.This question asks Did you experience any negative emotions such as fear or anxiety when we were evaluating urination after our surgery? It is measured on a continuum from 0 (many negative emotions) to 100 (no negative emotions).
Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire for Voiding Assessment-recommend methodUp to 2 days post-surgery.This question asks How likely would you be to recommend to a friend or family member, the method we used to evaluate your urination after our surgery, if they were in the same situation? It is measured on a continuum from 0 (very unlikely) to 100 (very likely).
Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire for Voiding Assessment-convenience of methodUp to 2 days post-surgery.This question asks How convenient was the method we used to evaluate your urination after our surgery (e.g. time, ease etc.)? It is measured on a continuum from 0 (very inconvenient) to 100 (very convenient).
False pass rateup to 30 days after discharge.The percentage of women who initially met the voiding assessment but returned for re-catheterization due to voiding difficulty .
Postoperative pain scoreOne day post-surgery.This outcome is measured by a 10-point visual analog scale where 0= no pain, 10=worst pain you have ever experienced.
Urinary tract infection (UTI)Up to 30 days post surgery.UTI is defined as culture-proven bladder infection or, in the absence of a culture, clinical suspicion of a bladder infection that resulted in treatment.
Post-operative complicationsUp to 30 days post-surgery.Post-operative complications assessed by medical record review.
Length of hospital stayUp to 2 days post-surgery.Length of hospital stay assessed by medical record review.
Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire for Voiding Assessment-preferred methodUp to 2 days post-surgery.This question asks the patient: If it was all up to you, which It is measured on a continuum from 0 (strongly prefer backfill before catheter) to 100 (strongly prefer no backfill before catheter removal).
