Summary

This study tested whether giving women a single dose of tamsulosin just before mid-urethral sling surgery could reduce the chance of needing a catheter after the procedure. About 179 women participated, and half received the drug while the other half got a placebo. The goal was to see if this simple, low-cost approach could improve recovery and satisfaction.
