Cystogram Before Removal of Foley Catheter After Repair of Colovesical Fistula

October 24, 2023 updated by: Mount Carmel Health System

Cystogram for Early Foley Catheter Removal Post Colovesical Fistula Resection

Colovesical fistulas are well-recognized but relatively uncommon pathology to both the general and colorectal surgeon. It is a complication arising from an underlying primary acute to chronic inflammatory process. Although colovesical fistulas are uncommon, they are associated with significant morbidity, affect quality of life, and may lead to death, usually secondary to urosepsis. Early diagnosis and management is essential.

The purpose of the study is to determine the objective use of cystographic evaluation on postoperative day two to guide early Foley catheter removal post colovesical fistula takedown. The hypothesis is that a cystogram showing no extravasation of contrast on postoperative day two will predict safe removal without increased morbidity.

This is an uncontrolled, single arm trial. Patients who meet criteria to undergo either minimally invasive or open colovesical fistula takedown with sigmoid colectomy, without evidence of the need for bladder repair will be eligible to participate. An indwelling Foley catheter is placed intraoperative and continued postoperative. All patients who consent to participate would undergo a cystogram on postoperative day two. The cystogram will be conducted by a radiologist and technician well-trained in the techniques and interpretation of the study. The colorectal surgery enhanced recovery protocol will be followed on all patients with the exception of the cystogram being conducted on post-op day two. If there is no evidence of extravasation of dye is seen on the cystogram the Foley catheter will be removed. Patients will be monitored closely following catheter removal to ensure self-diuresis.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years to 95 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Cystogram on Post-Op Day 2
An indwelling Foley catheter is placed intraoperative and continued postoperative. All patients who consent to participate would undergo a cystogram on postoperative day two. The cystogram will be conducted by a radiologist and technician well-trained in the techniques and interpretation of the study. The colorectal surgery enhanced recovery protocol will be followed on all patients with the exception of the cystogram being conducted on post-op day two.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
