Oxybutynin to help bladder control after prostate surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests if the medicine Oxybutynin ER (a drug that helps relax the bladder) can help you regain bladder control sooner after robotic prostate surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo for a few weeks after surgery.

This trial tests whether doing pelvic floor muscle exercises can help improve urinary symptoms after prostate surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (an enlarged prostate). It may help you regain bladder control and reduce discomfort after your operation.
This trial tests whether a medication called tamsulosin (commonly used for prostate problems) can help prevent trouble urinating after chest surgery. You may be eligible if you are at higher risk for this complication and have some urinary symptoms.
This study tests a program that combines exercise, nutrition, and mental preparation before and after prostate removal surgery. The goal is to help you recover faster and keep better urinary and sexual function.
This study tests whether it's safe to stop taking alpha-blocker medicines soon after prostate surgery (instead of continuing them for a longer time). If you've had successful surgery to relieve prostate blockage, you may be able to stop these medicines earlier, which could reduce side effects.
This trial studies whether tamsulosin can help drain the bladder when urine builds up after pelvic reconstructive surgery. It may help reduce the time and problems caused by “post-operative urinary retention.”
This trial tests whether the drug tamsulosin (a medication that relaxes bladder muscles) helps you urinate more easily right after same-day surgery for pelvic organ prolapse or incontinence. It aims to reduce the need for a catheter after surgery.
