Risk of Urinary Tract Infection Symptoms after Posthysterectomy Cystoscopy with 50% Dextrose as Compared with Saline Cystoscopy with Indigo Carmine

Abstract

Study Objective: Compare odds of postoperative urinary symptoms in women who had cystoscopy after benign laparoscopic hysterectomy with 50% dextrose and with normal saline solution with intravenous indigo carmine. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Two tertiary care centers. Patients: All women who underwent benign laparoscopic hysterectomy and intraoperative cystoscopy carried out by a single surgeon. Interventions: We compared postoperative urinary symptoms in patients who received 50% dextrose cystoscopy fluid (January 2016–June 2017) with those who received saline cystoscopy with intravenous indigo carmine (November 2013–April 2014). Measurements and Main Results: A total of 96 patients had cystoscopy with 50% dextrose and 104 with normal saline with intravenous indigo carmine. Differences in baseline characteristics of the two groups of participants mainly reflected institutional population diversity: age (45.2 vs 41.9, p =. 01), body mass index (26.9 vs 33.4, p
