Timing of Active Void Trials After Urogynecologic Procedures

June 26, 2025 updated by: Simone Fertel, University of South Florida

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about active void trial pass rates in patients undergoing urogynecologic surgery. The main question it aims to answer is the comparison in pass rate during active void trial between women who are given 30 minutes versus 60 minutes to void following urogynecologic surgery.

Patient will be randomized to two arms prior to scheduled surgery. During the active void trial, women will be allotted up to 30 minutes or up to 60 minutes to void depending on respective randomization.
