Study Summary

The investigators hypothesize that backfilling the bladder postoperatively will reduce time to spontaneous void and subsequent discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit.

Study Description

This is a prospective, single-blinded, randomized clinical trials in which patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to have the bladder backfilled at the completion of the surgery prior to Foley catheter removal. If the patient is assigned to group A, 200 mL of room temperature, sterile normal saline will be instilled retrograde into the bladder at the completion of the surgery prior to Foley catheter removal and the Foley subsequently removed intraoperatively. If the patient is assigned to group B, the Foley catheter will be removed intraoperatively at completion of the procedure. The standard protocol is to use a 16F Foley catheter for gynecologic laparoscopy cases, and patients in both groups will receive the same size catheter. After surgery, time to discharge and time to void will be recorded.
