Indwelling vs Immediate Removal of Foley Catheter After Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy: a Prospective Study

Indwelling vs Immediate Removal of Foley Catheter After Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy: a Prospective Study

This is a prospective, comparative randomized study. Our study population includes women with pelvic organ prolapse undergoing a robotic assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy.

The two groups will include the study group, who will have their Foley catheter removed 6 hours post-op, and the control group who will have an indwelling Foley catheter overnight. The two groups will be assigned according REDCap randomization system.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age 19-75
• Pelvic organ prolapse requiring robotic assisted, laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Intraoperative complications necessitating a post-operative Foley

  • Cystotomy
  • EBL >500mL
  • Bowl injury

• Pre-operative urinary retention requiring an indwelling catheter
