Summary

This trial study is to determine if intraoperative bladder instillation of fluid decreases the time to discharge after having an outpatient mid-urethral sling procedure, and to measure the cost savings of this decrease in hospital stay.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 18 or older with stress urinary incontinence who are scheduled for an outpatient mid-urethral sling procedure. It's not suitable for those under 18, pregnant, unable to consent, or with a history of urinary retention.
What is being tested?
The study is testing if filling the bladder with fluid during surgery can shorten hospital stay after sling surgery for urinary incontinence. The cost impact due to reduced time spent in recovery will also be assessed.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed, typical risks may include discomfort from the bladder instillation process and potential complications related to standard surgical procedures.
