The objective of this study is to assess if not requiring patients to spontaneous void prior
to discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) will results in shorter lengths of
stay in the post-anesthesia care unit without increasing hospital readmissions or emergency
room visits.
to discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) will results in shorter lengths of
stay in the post-anesthesia care unit without increasing hospital readmissions or emergency
room visits.
This study will be a prospective clinical trial, in which 100 anorectal surgery patients will
be randomly assigned to a control (spontaneous void) or experimental (no void group). The
spontaneous void group will include 50 patients who will be required to void spontaneously
after anorectal surgeries. The no void group will be 50 patients who will be discharged home
from the PACU once they meet ambulatory surgery center discharge criteria per hospital
guidelines. Patients requiring anorectal surgeries will be consented to take part in the
study during the preoperative outpatient office visit. A post-operative phone call will be
made by designated study personnel to participants on post-op day 30 using a study
questionnaire to assess re-admission and emergency room visits.
