NCT01576965 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 160

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn about bowel preparation (cleansing) before laparoscopic hysterectomy and/or sacrocolpopexy. We are most interested in the ability of the surgeon to view necessary anatomy for the surgery, which will be assessed by a questionnaire completed at the end of your operation by the surgeon. We hypothesize that bowel preparation before laparoscopic hysterectomy will result in improved ability of the surgeon to view necessary anatomy for the surgery.

Conditions

  • Laparoscopic Hysterectomy and/or Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy

Interventions

DRUG

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate and sodium phosphate)

Those assigned to the mechanical bowel prep group will be asked to administer a single sodium phosphate enema rectally before going to bed the night before surgery. If stool is not clear in the morning, mechanical bowel prep subjects will administer one additional enema the morning of surgery
