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 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 acupuncture can help women who have trouble emptying their bladder after radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. If you still have a lot of urine left after peeing two weeks after surgery, this treatment might help your bladder function return to normal.
This study looks at whether the urinary (Foley) catheter can stay in place for a shorter time after certain pelvic operations. It aims to see if timing of catheter removal is safer and more comfortable, especially for bladder function.
This study tests whether a personalized plan for removing your bladder catheter after rectal cancer surgery can help it come out sooner. If you are having laparoscopic or robot-assisted rectal cancer surgery, this approach may lower your risk of complications and speed up recovery.
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.
