Summary

This study tested whether giving a muscle relaxant called tizanidine before a specific pelvic surgery (sacrospinous vaginal vault suspension) could prevent the common problem of being unable to urinate afterward. About 20 women took part. The goal was to see if the drug could reduce the need for a temporary urinary catheter, which many patients find uncomfortable and inconvenient.
