Intravesical Bupivacaine on Post-Operative Ureteroscopy Pain
- Registration Number
- NCT06635889
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Chicago
- Brief Summary
Post-operative pain and lower urinary tract symptoms are common following ureteroscopy in the treatment of stone disease. The use of bupivacaine as a topical pain medication is used routinely for other urologic procedures, however, to date there are no studies that have rigorously investigated the effect of instilling bupivacaine in the bladder following ureteroscopy.
This is a randomized study that will investigate the effect of instilling bupivacaine in the bladder following routine ureteroscopy, laser lithotripsy and ureteral stenting in the treatment of stone disease. Compared to a placebo of Normal Saline, our study hypothesizes that administration of topical bupivacaine in the bladder will decrease post-operative pain and lower urinary tract symptoms while improving quality of life in the early post-operative period.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Post-operative pain as determined by the score on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) upon emergence from anesthesia At 30 minutes post-emergence, 60 minutes post-emergence, 6 hours post-emergence and on post-operative day 1 Pain will be assessed using a Likert 10-point scale upon emergence from anesthesia in the recovery room, post-emergence 30 minutes, 60 minutes post-emergence and 6 and 24 hours post-emergence. These types of scales are commonly used to measure post operative pain both in anesthesia and in endourology
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Time to discharge From Baseline to post- operative day 5 Milliequivalent of morphine consumed From Baseline to post- operative day 5 Number of bladder spasms From Baseline to post- operative day 5 Time to void From Baseline to post- operative day 5 Quality of life based on the Ureteral Stent Symptom Questionnaire (USSQ) From Baseline to post- operative day 5 A validated tool of 38 questions that assesses the symptoms and quality of life impact of ureteral stents.
The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Adult Function Short Form From Baseline to post- operative day 5 Adverse events From Baseline to post- operative day 5
