Purpose
This study is divided into two parts. The first part is a prospective observational study of patients undergoing pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery. The goal is to determine patient preference between 3 different methods of bladder drainage in case of post-operative voiding dysfunction (POVD): transurethral indwelling catheterization (TIC), clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC), and suprapubic tube (SPT). The second part of the study will be for those that choose CISC as their preferred method, whereby these patients will be randomized to receive CISC instruction either pre- or post-operatively to determine whether there is a difference in overall patient satisfaction based on timing of teaching.
The investigators hypothesize that patients that receive informed consent pre-operatively will favour the use of SPT over TIC and CISC to manage potential POVD.
Among those patients who opted for CISC in management of their post-operative voiding dysfunction, patients that are taught how to perform CISC pre-operatively in the clinic will have a higher level of satisfaction compared to those that are taught post-operatively in the hospital.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Part 1: Patient catheter preference [ Time Frame: 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]For the first part of the study, the primary outcome is determining patient preference for method of bladder drainage for potential post-operative voiding dysfunction when asked pre-operatively. They will be given the options of either transurethral indwelling catheter (TIC), clean intermittent self catheterization (CISC), or suprapubic tube (SPT).
- Part 2: patient satisfaction with regard to timing of CISC teaching. [ Time Frame: 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]For the second part of the study, the primary outcome measure is the difference in patient satisfaction levels between those that had pre-operative CISC teaching compared with those that had the standard post-operative CISC teaching.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Patient satisfaction with catheter choice [ Time Frame: 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]This will be assessed using a visual analog scale based on a previously published questionnaire. This questionnaire will be administered on the day of discharge, on post-operative day seven, and six weeks after surgery. This will be compared between the three different catheter groups.
- Incidence of post-operative voiding dysfunction after prolapse surgery [ Time Frame: 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]We will determine the actual number of patients that required catheter use to manage acute voiding dysfunction after prolapse surgery.
- Bladder function after catheter use [ Time Frame: 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]We will assess bladder function in those patients that required bladder catheterization to manage post-operative voiding dysfunction by performing uroflowmetry and post-void residual measurements at one and six weeks after surgery. This will be compared between the three different catheter groups.
- Incidence of bacteruria/urinary tract infection after catheter use [ Time Frame: 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]We will assess the incidence of bacteruria/urinary tract infection in those patients that required bladder catheterization to manage post-operative voiding dysfunction by performing uroflowmetry and post-void residual measurements at one and six weeks after surgery. This will be compared between the different catheter groups.

No Intervention: CISC instruction post-operatively
For those patients that are randomized to CISC instruction before surgery, instruction will begin on post-operative day one. One of the nurses from the hospital gynecology unit will teach and supervise the patients until they feel comfortable with the technique or until catheterization is no longer required (e.g. when the patient passes her voiding trial on two separate occasions). This is the protocol currently in use at our institution.

Active Comparator: CISC instruction pre-operatively
Patients allocated to the pre-operative CISC teaching group will be taught how to perform CISC by one of urogynecology nurses working at the Women's Health Care Centre. Patients will be allowed to practice until they feel comfortable with the technique. This should take approximately 30 minutes. The session will take place on the day of their pre-operative medical appointment (PAF), which normally occurs less than a month before the surgery. If a patient is not seen in PAF or is seen more than a month before her surgery, a separate appointment for CISC teaching during the month preceding the surgery will be organized. Post-operatively, a nurse from the hospital gynecology unit will review the technique to make sure the patient is still comfortable with performing CISC.
