Trendelenburg, Abdominal Insufflation and Time to Completion of Cystoscopy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Objective:
The investigators seek to compare the efficiency of the cystoscopy with two interventions:
-
patient position during the cystoscopy (Trendelenburg (head down) or flat)
-
Abdominal insufflation (insufflation versus no insufflation)

Detailed Description
This is a randomized controlled trial assessing time to completion of cystoscopy in seconds after minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
The investigators seek to compare the efficiency of the cystoscopy with two interventions:
-
patient position during the cystoscopy (Trendelenburg (head down) or flat)
-
Abdominal insufflation (insufflation versus no insufflation).
Both interventions are used as usual care and depend on surgeon preference without evidence why one would be faster at completing the cystoscopy. Also note that these two interventions are performed multiple times during the surgery itself and outside the cystoscopy procedure routinely. The investigator's main objective is to assess which intervention or combination of interventions is more efficient.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Time in seconds to complete the cystourethroscopy [From the start of the cystoscopy to the completion of the cystoscopy (about 17 minutes)]
Time in seconds to satisfactorily complete the cystourethroscopy (including visualization of the dome, the ureteral jets, the bladder mucosa, and the urethra).
