The investigators hypothesize that backfilling the bladder postoperatively will reduce time to spontaneous void and subsequent discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit.
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 c…
Inclusion Criteria: * Women aged 18 to 80 * Undergoing planned laparoscopic hysterectomy as a day surgery procedure Exclusion Criteria: * Women younger than 18 or older than 80 years of age * Undergoing a non-laparoscopic unplanned surgical procedure
Participants undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy have the bladder filled with 200 mL saline prior to Foley removal at the end of surgery.
