A Randomized, Controlled Trial After Vaginal Apex Suspension Comparing Force of Stream to Traditional Retrograde Fill Voiding Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating voiding trial and Foley catheter for Vaginal Apical Prolapse. Completed, enrolled 184 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Voiding difficulties are common after prolapse and incontinence surgeries. All patients after vaginal prolapse surgery must complete a voiding trial if they are to be discharged home without a catheter. Accepted protocols for voiding trials after prolapse and incontinence surgeries do not exist. The purpose of this study is to compare two different types of postoperative voiding trials to determine which leads to less postoperative issues, such as urinary retention requiring catheterization. You are being asked to participate because you are having a vaginal apex suspension surgery.
