NCT ID NCT02443987
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving women intravenous (IV) fluids before tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) surgery for stress urinary incontinence helps them urinate sooner after the operation. 43 women took part, with some getting IV fluids and others not. The main goal was to see how long it took for the first urination after surgery.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could help hospitals decide whether to give fluids before TVT surgery to speed up recovery.
