36: Evaluating rates of symptoms of urinary tract infection after post-hysterectomy cystoscopy with 50% dextrose

Fifty percent Dextrose solution (D50) can be used to evaluate ureteral patency at time of laparoscopic hysterectomy. A previously published study found an increased risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) after cystoscopy with 10% dextrose solution following pelvic reconstruction or anti-incontinence surgery. The purpose of this study was to compare the rate of UTI and lower urinary tract (LUT) injury detection in different population –younger women who have undergone intraoperative cystoscopy with 50% dextrose solution or normal saline (NS) immediately following benign laparoscopic hysterectomy.
