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.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Tamsulosin 0.4Mg Capsule
  • Drug: Placebo oral tablet
Early Phase 1

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.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Preoperative Tamsulosin

The study group will receive one oral dose .4mg of Tamsulosin prior to surgery.

Drug: Tamsulosin 0.4Mg Capsule
Tamsulosin given preoperatively to detect if rates of urinary retention after female pelvic floor surgeries are decreased

Placebo Comparator: Preoperative Placebo

The control group will receive one oral dose of placebo pill prior to surgery.

Drug: Placebo oral tablet
Placebo pill given preoperatively
Other Names:
  • Preoperative Placebo
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. 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

    1. 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)

    2. 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
