Retrograde bladder filling after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery: a double-blind randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:To evaluate whether retrofilling the bladder upon completion of elective laparoscopic gynecologic surgery for benign indications has an effect on the timing of the first post-operative void and timing of discharge from hospital. DESIGN:Double-blind randomized controlled trial SETTING: Single academic surgical day hospital PATIENTS: Patients undergoing outpatient laparoscopic gynecologic surgery, excluding hysterectomy or pelvic reconstructive surgery. INTERVENTIONS:Upon completion of surgery, patients were randomized to either retrograde filling of the bladder with 200 mL of saline prior to catheter removal or standard care (immediate catheter removal). Patients and PACU nurses (outcome assessors) were both blinded. MEASUREMENTS:The primary outcome was the time to first void. Secondary outcomes were time to hospital discharge, post-operative urinary tract infection and patient satisfaction. MAIN RESULTS:Over a 3 month period, 47 patients were approached on the day of surgery, 42 consented and were randomized (21 to intervention and 21 to control). There were no significant differences in baseline demographics between groups. The median time to first void was significantly shorter for patients in the intervention arm compared to controls (104 ± 75min vs 162 ± 76min, p<0.001). Retrofilled patients were discharged faster from PACU compared to controls (155.0 ± 74min vs 227 ± 58min, p=0.001). There were no urinary tract infections in either group and the proportion of satisfied or very satisfied patients was high (93.8% vs. 88.2%, p=0.512). CONCLUSION:Retrograde filling the bladder after outpatient laparoscopic gynecologic surgery is a safe, effective method that significantly reduces length of hospital stay.

Project description:BackgroundThoracic epidural anesthesia is no longer considered the gold standard for perioperative analgesia in laparoscopic colorectal procedures. In the search for alternatives, the efficacy of the transverse abdominal plane (TAP) block and other abdominal wall blocks such as the transmuscular quadratus lumborum (TQL) block continues to be investigated for postoperative pain management. Most of the initial studies on TAP blocks reported positive effects; however, the amount of studies with negative outcomes is increasing, most probably due to the fact that the majority of abdominal wall blocks fail to mitigate visceral pain. The TQL block could prove attractive in the search for better postoperative pain relief after laparoscopic colorectal surgery. In several cadaveric studies of the TQL, a spread of dye into the thoracic paravertebral space, the intercostal spaces, and even the thoracic sympathetic trunk was reported. Given the advantage of possibly reaching the thoracic paravertebral space, the potential to reach nerves transmitting visceral pain, and the possible coverage of dermatomes T4-L1, we hypothesize that the TQL provides superior postoperative analgesia for laparoscopic colorectal surgery as compared to patient-controlled intravenous analgesia with morphine alone.Methods and designIn this prospective, randomized, double-blind controlled clinical trial, 150 patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery will be included. Patients will be randomly allocated to two different analgesic strategies: a bilateral TQL with 30 ml ropivacaine 0.375% each on both sides, administered before induction of anesthesia, plus postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia with morphine (TQL group, n = 75), or a bilateral TQL block with 30 ml saline each on both sides plus postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia with morphine (placebo group, n = 75). Our primary outcome parameter will be the morphine consumption during the first 24 h postsurgery. Secondary endpoints include pain intensity as assessed with the numerical rating scale (NRS) for pain, time to return of intestinal function (defined as the time to first flatus and the time to the first postoperative intake of solid food), time to first mobilization, the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting during the first 24 h, length of stay on the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) and in the hospital, the extent of sensory block at two time points (admission to and discharge from the PACU), the doses of morphine IV as requested by the patient from the PCA pump, the total dosage of morphine administered IV, the need for and dose of rescue analgesics (ketamine, clonidine), free plasma ropivacaine levels after induction and at discharge from the PACU, and the incidence of adverse events during treatment (in particular, signs of local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST)). Epidural analgesia is no longer the standard of care for postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Until now, the most effective analgesic strategy in these patients especially in an enhanced recovery program is still unknown. Several abdominal wall blocks (TAP, fascia transversalis plane block) are known to have an analgesic effect only on somatic pain. Recognizing the importance of procedure-specific pain management, we aim to investigate whether a transmuscular quadratus lumborum block delivers superior pain control in comparison to patient-controlled intravenous analgesia with morphine alone.Trial registrationEudraCT identifier 2019-002304-40.
