Summary
This study tests whether a single dose of the steroid dexamethasone, given before surgery, can prevent trouble urinating after spinal anesthesia. Over 1,000 adults having surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo. The goal is to see if fewer people need a catheter to empty their bladder after the operation.
