Tamsulosin to Prevent Postoperative Urinary Retention in Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair

Stopped early · Phase 4 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Post Operative Urinary Retention

In brief

To investigate the effect of tamsulosin on the development of post-operative urinary retention (PUR) after elective laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR). This will be accomplished by administering a pre-operative dose of tamsulosin. The primary outcome is the rate of urinary retention necessitating straight catheterization or insertion of foley catheter prior to discharge.
