Filter by:Assess feasibility and safety of the Prostatic Urethra Lift (PUL) procedure in patients with acute urinary retention secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Retrospective case-control study. A substantial number of patients do not respond favourably to sacral neurostimulation (SNS) although clinically, they appear to have the same lower urinary tract dysfunction characteristics as the ones with good responses. This may be due to methodological issues (lead position) or patient selection. The purpose of this study is to improve and standardize lead position, in order to increase the patient response to test stimulation and to SNS treatment, and to decrease adverse events.
Acute urinary retention is a complication of hysterectomies that can result in bladder over-distension and long term bladder dysfunction. The incidence of acute urinary retention after total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) has been reported to be anywhere between 4% and 34%. Studies have varied in the method of post-operative bladder challenge and the modality of hysterectomy included. Moreover, most of the published studies are retrospective chart reviews or prospective observational studies, with a lack of randomized controlled trials. Risk factors for urinary retention include type of anesthesia used, how the hysterectomy is performed, use of post-operative narcotics, pre-operative urinary retention, and possibly aggressive bladder dissection. With the increased trend towards same-day discharge following TLH, urinary retention may cause unnecessary patient distress and a worsened post-operative course. Standardization of post-hysterectomy bladder challenge and identification of risk factors for urinary retention may aid in preventing urinary retention or acute bladder dysfunction. The primary objective is to compare the rate of void trial failure after TLH with the backfill technique versus the autofill technique.
This is a randomized comparative trial investigating two different catheter management strategies among post-gynecologic surgery patients. Women undergoing any benign gynecologic surgery wherein they are anticipated to stay at least overnight and in whom no prolapse or urinary tract surgery was concurrently performed, will be randomly assigned to either conventional urinary catheter care removal on post-operative day 1 or same day surgery urinary catheter removal. Patient satisfaction and lower urinary tract symptoms including urine culture and antibiotic use will be tracked across both cohorts over the 2 weeks following the index surgery.
This is a randomized controlled trial comparing plug-unplug catheter management, continuous drainage catheter systems and patients that do not get discharged with catheters after inpatient pelvic reconstructive surgery.
To determine if phenazopyridine reduces the rate of postoperative urinary retention after pelvic organ prolapse surgery.
Investigating whether pre-operative treatment with a selective alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonist affects the likelihood of male patients developing post-operative urinary retention following hernia repair.
Background: Radical hysterectomy is an important therapy for early cervical cancer. Disfunction of urinary dynamics is the most common postoperative adverse effects, which had negative impact on patients' quality of life. Nerve sparing radical hysterectomy (NSRH) could reserve inferior hypogastric plexus (IHP) innervating bladder, hence improving postoperative urinary dynamics. Furthermore impact of different energy instruments on urinary dynamic isn't clear. Objectives: This study is to compare urinary dynamics before and after NSRH, and to analyze the difference between BiClamp forcep (BiClamp® forcep, ERBE Elektromedizin, GmbH, Tuebingen, Germany) and water jet (ERBEJET®2) about the effects of dissecting IHP. Study population: Cervical cancer of FIGO IB stage, among which 120 cases are enrolled to randomly allocated to BiClamp group or water jet group. Intervention: Patients accept NSRH which all will be accomplished by Professor Ming Wu. Methods: All surgical patients are accessed via urinary dynamics before and four months after NSRH. On the 14th day after surgeries, urinary catheter will be removed and residual urine volume (RUV) will be measured. For patients of RUV > 100 ml, urinary catheter will be replaced. Primary study endpoint: the successful rate of removing urinary catheter on the 14th day after NSRH. Secondary study endpoint: urinary dynamics four months after NSRH.
After reconstructive pelvic surgery urinary retention occurs in up to 60% of patients requiring an indwelling catheter or self-catheterization (1-5). Up to 35% of women with acute retention experience urinary tract infections in the postoperative period (6, 7). Many women consider being discharged with a Foley catheter to be a surgical complication and describe catheter use as the worst aspect of their surgery(8). At this time there is no consensus within the field of Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS) on how to best assess voiding function postoperatively. FPMRS providers both within the United States and around the world utilize a variety of void trial methods and varying criteria to determine adequacy of post-operative voiding efficiency (5). The traditional backfill assisted void trial method involves the assessment of a postvoid residual (PVR) volume obtained either via catheterization or bladder scan (3). Recently, there have been efforts to determine ways to avoid the assessment of a PVR as it is time-consuming and potentially exposes the patient to additional catheterizations (9, 10). Many FPMRS providers utilize the backfill assisted method without assessing a PVR and instead utilize a certain voided volume threshold to determine adequate voiding. However, to date, no one has directly studied this approach or compared the traditional backfill assisted void trial to a PVR-free backfill assisted void trial. By decreasing catheterization and creating a more efficient void trial method, the investigators hope improve patients' postoperative experience and reduce catheterization and risk of urinary tract infection (UTI). This study aims to compare two void trial methodologies in order to help standardize post-operative care in the urogynecology population. This study also has potential to lead to an overall change in our field and improve the postoperative course for women across the country and abroad.
This study is to determine if self-discontinuation of transurethral foley catheters in patients diagnosed with postoperative urinary retention (POUR), which is defined as the continued need for catheterization, following impatient pelvic organ prolapse surgery is non-inferior to office-discontinuation.
