Safe Access for Bladder Entry in Transgender Men Following Penile Reconstruction: a Randomised Controlled Trial

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
The only patients eligible are transgender men following penile reconstruction undergoing insertion of an inflatable penile prosthesis under general anaesthesia. Patients will be identified by the theatre booking lists at St Peter's Andrology and will be contacted by phone. The trial will be discussed and any concerns addressed. The patient information sheet will be emailed to them (or posted by mail, if preferred by the patient). Patients will be given at least 24 hours to consent to participate in the trial. As much time as possible will be given to consider the information provided.
The study sites (University College London Hospital, The London Clinic and King Edward VII's Hospital) are where the operations for insertion of inflatable penile prosthesis are performed. The sites will not play any other role in the study and equipment for the study will be brought to the hospitals as required.
The consent form will be signed on the morning of the procedure by the patient. Patients who consent to participate in the study will be randomly assigned to having either a Urethrotech UCD or a Bardia Aquafil Foley catheter for their first attempt at urethral catheterisation. If unsuccessful, a flexible cystoscopy (telescopic examination) will be performed and a guidewire passed directly into the bladder. A Foley catheter will then be passed over the wire, into the bladder.
Following surgery, patients will be admitted overnight and the catheter removed the next day followed by discharged. After 30 days, patients will be followed-up by phone.
All data will be kept in a password protected document and no data or intellectual property will be transferred to other research groups although there may be future need to share deidentified data with other groups. All study activities will be performed by the research group.
