Gentamicin Intravesical Efficacy for Infection of Urinary Tract (GIVEIT)
Postoperative Urinary Tract Infection, Pelvic Organ Prolapse, Stress Urinary Incontinence
About this trial
This is an interventional prevention trial for Postoperative Urinary Tract Infection focused on measuring gentamicin sulfate, pelvic organ prolapse surgery, midurethral sling, bladder instillation
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adult women undergoing pelvic organ prolapse surgery and/or stress urinary incontinence surgery with surgical plan for at least 1 cystoscopy and will leave the operating room with a standard-of-care transurethral catheter.
- Negative urine culture within 4 weeks or completion of UTI treatment ≥48 hours prior to surgery
Exclusion Criteria:
- History of allergic reaction or anaphylaxis to gentamicin sulfate or to sodium metabisulfite (one of the preservatives in the gentamicin sulfate product)
- Abnormal intraoperative urinary tract finding (e.g. bladder mass, stone, or fistula)
- Intraoperative urinary tract injury
- Suppressive recurrent UTI treatment
- Chronic indwelling catheter/self-catheterization
- Unable to provide informed consent
- Severe renal impairment - glomerular filtration rate of less than 30 mL / minute
- Current pregnancy
- Currently incarcerated
Sites / Locations
- UC San Diego Health
- Kaiser Permanente San Diego

Gentamicin Arm
Control Arm
At the completion of the subjects surgery but prior to awakening from anesthesia, 80mg of gentamicin in 50 mL of normal saline will be infused into the subject's bladder through the standard-of-care transurethral catheter by the surgeon. The surgeon will then clamp the catheter and label the catheter with the clamping time. The catheter will be clamped to prevent the gentamicin from immediately flowing out of the bladder and thus allow the gentamicin time to have an effect. The subject will then proceed as usual to the postoperative anesthesia care unit. A member of the subject's care team will unclamp the catheter after 1 hour. The subject will otherwise have usual pre-operative and post-operative care.
If the patient is randomized to no instillation, at the end of the surgery but prior to awakening from anesthesia, the surgeon will clamp the catheter and label the catheter with the clamping time. The purpose of clamping the catheter for subjects receiving usual care will be to ensure patients are masked to study arm assignment if they wake up and notice their catheter. The subject will then proceed as usual to the postoperative anesthesia care unit. A member of the subject's care team will unclamp the catheter after 1 hour. The subject will otherwise have usual pre-operative and post-operative care.
