Clinical Trial Summary

The objectives of this study are to determine the efficacy of tamsulosin compared to placebo in reducing post-operative urinary retention and improving other clinical outcomes in people undergoing pulmonary surgery.


Clinical Trial Description

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of providing preoperative tamsulosin as prophylaxis against postoperative urinary retention after thoracic surgery. Participants will initiate prophylaxis 3 days prior to their study date and continue for 2 days postoperatively. This will be a placebo controlled double masked randomized trial. The primary outcome being evaluated is development of urinary retention; defined as required urinary catheterization. Secondary outcomes will include rate of straight catheterizations, indwelling catheterizations and time to catheterization. ;
