Journal Title: Indian Journal of Basic and Applied Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: As we have progressed over time, prophylactic use of Tamsulosin has shown significant effect on the postoperative urinary retention (POUR) after perineal, anorectal and inguinal surgeries. This study was conducted to evaluate the preventive role of tamsulosin on postoperative urinary retention. Material and Methods: This case control randomized study was conducted on eighty patients with forty patients in each group selected on basis of random sampling method who met the inclusion criteria over a period of one year. One group received tamsulosin and the other group received placebo. All the patients were followed for 24 hours and results were compared. Results: Tamsulosin significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative urinary retention. Conclusion: The preoperative role of Tamsulosin in patients undergoing perineal, anorectal and inguinal hernia surgeries under spinal anaesthesia significantly reduces the incidence of post-operative urinary retention and improves the quality of life in early stages of post-operative rehabilitation and also decreases the duration of hospital stay.
