Summary

This trial tests whether removing the urinary catheter and vaginal pack about 6 hours after pelvic organ prolapse surgery—instead of the usual 1-2 days—helps women recover faster. Researchers will compare time to first urination, walking ability, hospital stay length, and patient satisfaction. The study involves about 97 women undergoing vaginal prolapse repair at a single hospital in Singapore.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Early removal of the indwelling urinary catheter and vaginal pack, about 6 hours after surgery, instead of waiting 1-2 days.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could shorten hospital stays, speed up recovery, and reduce healthcare costs for women undergoing prolapse surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial, and early removal may increase the risk of urinary retention or the need for catheter reinsertion in some women.
