Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Sodium Fluorescein
Patients will receive an intravenous dose of 0.25 mL of 10% (500 mg, 5 mL) sodium fluorescein at the time of cystoscope insertion, for a total dose of 25 mg. Cystoscopy will be performed in the standard fashion during the course of the operation.
|
Drug: sodium fluorescein |
Active Comparator: oral phenazopyridine
Patients randomized to the phenazopyridine arm will be given a 200 mg pill with a sip of water in the pre-operative area 1 hour before their scheduled procedure. Cystoscopy will be performed in the standard fashion during the course of the operation.
|
Drug: phenazopyridine |
- differences in time that elapses between starting cystoscopy and identifying both ureteral jets between treatment groups [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- number of participants with intra-operative and immediate and post-operative treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
