About this study

Patients who undergo anterior vaginal wall plastic surgery and place the bladder catheter during surgery are selected. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the presence of statistically significant differences in bladder catheter repositioning within 12 hours after bladder catheter removal in the group of patients in whom the bladder catheter is removed on postoperative day I or II.

Secondary outcomes include evaluation of the incidence of urinary tract infections, number of hospitalization days and total hospitalization costs for patients undergoing anterior vaginal wall surgery in patients in whom the bladder catheter is removed on postoperative day I or II.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. differences in bladder catheter repositioning within 12 hours after bladder catheter removal

    After removal of the bladder catheter, on postoperative day I or II, the appearance of urinary urge will be assessed and, in case of spontaneous urination, the quantity of urine will be measured. In the event that after the waiting time of 6 hours an adequate urination stimulus does not arise, we will proceed with an ultrasound evaluation of bladder stagnation (RV) and the application of the department protocol, as follows:

    • if the sum of diuresis and RV is between 500 and 1000 cc, extemporaneous catheterization and re-evaluation after 4 hours are indicated
    • if the sum of diuresis and RV is > 1000cc, positioning of a bladder catheter and maintenance of the same for 5-7 days with subsequent evaluation is indicated.

    Measured: 12 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. incidence of urinary tract infections for patients undergoing cystopexy surgery in patients in whom the bladder catheter is removed on postoperative day I or II.

    Before removing the catheter, a chemical-physical examination will be carried out; if this is positive, urine culture will be carried out. The diagnosis of urinary tract infection will be made with leukocyturia greater than 25 cells per field, positivity for urinary nitrite, presence of at least 20 bacteria per field, bacteriuria and/or more than 100,000 colony forming units associated with at least one of the following signs (fever, dysuria, increased urinary frequency, suprapubic pain, burning on urination or worsening of urinary incontinence). Patients with a positive culture and/or who show symptoms attributable to urinary tract infection will be subjected to antibiotic therapy.

    Measured: During hospital stay

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Catheter removal after surgery in people with Catheter Related Complication and Anterior Vaginal Wall Prolapse, run by IRCCS San Raffaele at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

differences in bladder catheter repositioning within 12 hours after bladder catheter removal (time frame: 12 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Feb 2025.
