Use of the Electronic Catheter Stethoscope for the Detection of Urinary Tract Injury During Gynecologic Surgery
This is an observational, exploratory study designed to collect (record) and analyze normal
and abnormal sound data from the human bladder during surgery using a novel sensor-based
catheter system (Electronic Catheter Stethoscope) and to develop algorithms to detect
changes of baseline bladder and ureteral function. The Electronic Catheter Stethoscope
device will measure acoustic and pressure data within the bladder. The measurements will be
used to detect any leakage from the bladder and/or changes in baseline ureteral flow by
correlation of sound data with surgical data reported by the surgeon. These data will be
used to develop algorithms to detect changes of baseline bladder and ureteral function. The
algorithms will be tested in future clinical trials.
