Common pill may stop Post-Surgery pee problems
NCT ID NCT03808155
Summary
This study tested if taking a common bladder medication (tamsulosin) for five days before hip or knee replacement surgery could prevent a painful condition called urinary retention, where patients can't urinate after their operation. In this completed trial, 170 male patients were randomly given either the real medication or a placebo pill. The goal was to see if the drug reduced the need for a catheter after surgery.
