Abstract
To compare the rate of postoperative urinary retention (POUR) after total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) using the autofill vs the backfill void trial. Secondary objectives were to compare the time to discharge from the recovery room, rate of postoperative urinary tract infection (UTI), perceived bladder condition, the effect of bladder function on life, and patient satisfaction. Randomized controlled trial. Single academic medical center. Women who underwent TLH by conventional laparoscopy or robotic-assisted laparoscopy for benign non-urogynecologic indications. After TLH, participants were randomized to have an autofill void trial (group A) or a backfill void trial once they were able to ambulate (group B). Failure rate, time to discharge, and UTI rate were assessed. Participants completed the patient perception of bladder condition and the incontinence impact questionnaire-short form questionnaires. Patient satisfaction was assessed. Multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the predictors of POUR. Eighty-two participants completed the study after randomization, 42 in group A and 40 in group B. There were no statistically significant differences in demographic or perioperative outcomes. Seven participants had POUR in group A (16.7%) and 11 in group B (27.5%) (p = .36), respectively. The median time to discharge was 176 minutes for group A (160.5, 255.5) and 218 minutes for group B (180, 265) (p = .01), respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in rate of postoperative UTI (p >.99), patient perception of bladder condition scores (p = .24), incontinence impact questionnaire-short form scores (p = .23), and patient satisfaction scores (p = .26). A stepwise logistic regression analysis did not demonstrate any predictors of POUR. Backfill void trial once the participant was able to ambulate was not superior to the autofill void trial with respect to the rate of POUR. The autofill void trial resulted in faster same-day discharge.
