Bladder instillation to speed up discharge after sling surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized control trial aims to evaluate whether intraoperative bladder instillation of fluid can reduce the time to discharge for women undergoing outpatient mid-urethral sling procedures for stress urinary incontinence. The study compares two practices: the traditional method of emptying the bladder at the end of surgery versus a new approach of filling the bladder with 250cc of fluid. By analyzing recovery room charges and discharge times, the researchers seek to determine if the new practice leads to cost savings and improved efficiency in patient care. This trial addresses a significant public health issue, as urinary incontinence affects a substantial number of women and managing care costs is increasingly important.
