Simple swap in surgery could help women avoid catheters

NCT ID NCT03913845

Summary

This study tested if using a simple saltwater solution (saline) instead of a numbing medicine (lidocaine) during a common surgery for stress urinary incontinence could help women avoid a frustrating side effect. The side effect is temporary trouble urinating after surgery, which often requires a catheter. Researchers compared the two solutions in 150 women to see which one led to fewer problems with urination and less pain after the procedure.
