Preoperative Tamsulosin to Prevent Postoperative Urinary Retention After Surgery For Pelvic Floor Disorders
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Our hypothesis is that patients receiving preoperative Tamsulosin will have decrease rates of postoperative urinary retention (POUR) after surgery in females for pelvic floor disorders.

Detailed Description
This study is a prospective randomized control trial. Patients undergoing pelvic surgery will randomized into two groups. The study group will receive one oral dose of .4mg of Tamsulosin preoperatively.The control group will receive one placebo pill preoperatively. Success or failure of initial voiding trial in postoperative period will be measured. Patients who fail the voiding trial will be discharged home with Foley catheter as is standard protocol at our institution.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Tamsulosin Effect [Up to 4 hours after surgery while patient is in post-anesthesia care unit.]
Assess the effect of Tamsulosin in preventing POUR, defined by failure of initial voiding trial postoperatively.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Postoperative Narcotic Use [Up to 4 hours after surgery while patient is in post-anesthesia care unit.]
Amount of postoperative narcotic use will be tracked to assess if increased narcotic use has an effect on postoperative voiding trial (The amount of narctoic use will be measured in milligrams)
- Effect of Tamsulosin on postoperative blood pressure [Up to 4 hours after surgery while patient is in post-anesthesia care unit]
A side effect of Tamsulosin in hypotension, therefore, postoperative blood pressure will be evaluated to see if Tamsulosin had a significant impact on blood pressure
