Summary

Bladder irrigation with a 3 way foley catheter is an important component of post operative management of transurethral bladder surgeries. But it is associated with a high incidence of bladder discomfort. Catheter related bladder discomfort (CRBD) doesn't respond to the orthodox opioid pain medication and is greatly distressful to the patients postoperatively, adversely affecting the quality of recovery often requiring administration of additional pain medication thereby increasing treatment costs, patient dissatisfaction and longer hospital stays. Several systemic agents have been used to reduce CRBD, but they have many side effects. A trial has been planned to find a way of reducing CRBD avoid distressing systemic side effects
