Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of the study is to determine the effectiveness of postoperative Tamsulosin in reducing the duration of acute postoperative urinary retention (POUR) following pelvic reconstructive surgery through a double blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial.


Clinical Trial Description

The primary objective is to determine the impact of Tamsulosin on duration of urinary retention following pelvic reconstructive surgery in women. Duration of catheterization via indwelling foley or clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC), measured in days, will be compared between women receiving Tamsulosin versus placebo after diagnosis of postoperative urinary retention via standardized voiding trial. It is hypothesized that women receiving Tamsulosin will have a shorter duration of urinary retention, fewer urinary tract infections, and improved quality of life as compared with placebo. The Euroqol-5D (EQ-5D) will be used to compare physical, emotional, functional, and social/family well-being between women receiving Tamsulosin and placebo. Upon diagnosis of POUR, women will be offered participation in the study. Once consent is obtained, women will be randomized to tamsulosin 0.4 mg or matching placebo capsules to be used daily until resolution of POUR or a 10 day course, whichever occurs first. ;
