Bladder Filling After Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
This study is looking at whether filling the bladder with 200 mL of saline (a saltwater solution) at the end of laparoscopic hysterectomy (a surgery to remove the uterus using small cuts) can help you go home sooner. Researchers believe this "backfill" procedure might help you urinate on your own more quickly after surgery. We are looking for women aged 18 to 80 who are having a planned laparoscopic hysterectomy as a day surgery. The main goal is to see if this procedure reduces the time it takes for you to be discharged from the hospital after surgery. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 112 participants.
- Study design
- This is a randomized clinical trial where participants will be assigned by chance to one of two groups. It is single-blinded, meaning you won't know if your bladder is backfilled, but the researchers will. The study plans to include 112 participants.
- What's involved
- If you participate, you will either have your bladder filled with 200 mL of saline or have the Foley catheter (a tube to drain urine) removed without the backfill procedure at the end of your surgery. Researchers will then record the time it takes for you to be discharged and to urinate on your own.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your time to discharge will be measured within 3 days following surgery.

What this trial measures
- Time to dischargeWithin 3 days following surgery
The time to discharge for each participant, which will be defined as the length of time from surgery completion to discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit, will be recorded.
