Effects of Preoperative Gabapentin on Clinical Outcomes After Outpatient Midurethral Sling Placement

Conclusions One of 5 women had urinary retention after outpatient midurethral sling placement. Although no statistically significant difference was found in urinary retention between groups, the odds of urinary retention in the treated group were increased. Because there was no difference in pain, analgesic usage, or time to discharge between groups, investigation regarding gabapentin use for outpatient urogynecologic surgery is needed.
