Retropubic Hydrodissection and Trocar-induced Bladder Perforation During Retropubic Midurethral Slings
NCT07208682
This study is recruiting at 1 US site in 1 state, according to its ClinicalTrials.gov record last updated .
Summary
Retropubic midurethral slings are a common and effective treatment for stress urine incontinence. The trocar that is attached to the mesh material can hit the bladder which is called a perforation. While there are no known long-term adverse outcomes from trocar-induced bladder perforations, it can prolong operative time and bleeding. At academic institutions, it has been reported that trocar-induced perforations occurs in the range of 14-34% of the time. This study is a randomized controlled trial to see if an intervention can decrease trocar-induced bladder perforation rates.
