First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study tested whether giving a muscle relaxant called tizanidine before a specific type of pelvic surgery (sacrospinous vaginal vault suspension) could help women avoid needing a urinary catheter afterward. Urinary retention (inability to pee) is very common after this surgery, affecting up to 79% of patients, and catheters can be uncomfortable and lead to infections. The study enrolled 20 women and measured how many could urinate normally right after surgery.
