NCT07650968
This randomized controlled trial will compare three medication strategies before trial without catheter in men with acute urinary retention due to benign prostatic hyperplasia who were already taking tamsulosin 0.4 mg once daily before the retention episode. After urethral catheterization, eligible participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups for 7 days: continuation of tamsulosin 0.4 mg once daily, escalation to tamsulosin 0.8 mg once daily, or switching to silodosin 8 mg once daily. The urethral catheter will be removed on Day 7, and the ability to void successfully without re-catheterization will be assessed. Follow-up will continue to Day 30, with additional recording of catheter-free status, recurrent urinary retention, urinary flow, post-void residual urine, symptom scores, adverse drug events, catheter-related complications, and the need for later benign prostatic hyperplasia-related surgery.
NCT07125326
At least ten percent of patients have postpartum urinary retention or difficulty urinating after birth, which can cause incontinence and other urinary problems long-term. After getting an epidural placed, patients should be numb in their pelvic region. This numbness makes it difficult to feel the need to urinate, so patients need a urinary catheter placed to empty the bladder. Some patients have one catheter placed throughout their labor and others have a catheter placed to empty the bladder then removed every few hours. The investigators are studying whether placing a catheter once or catheterizing multiple times affects the rate of postpartum urinary problems and infection.

Assess feasibility and safety of the Prostatic Urethra Lift (PUL) procedure in patients with acute urinary retention secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
NCT03876756
Postpartum urinary retention is an uncommon complication of the vaginal delivery. Failure to diagnose it may have a real impact both on the urinary plane but also on the psychological level. The hypothesis is that the identification of risk factors for the emergence of acute urinary retention would allow preventive management. The investigator conducted a retrospective, comparative, case-control study, including 2 groups of 96 patients who have had a vaginal delivery in the department between 2011 and 2015. The first group included patients with postpartum acute urinary retention (PAUR). The second group, control group, without PAUR, was selected randomly, respecting a 1:1 matching criteria, including the year of delivery and the age of the patient at delivery. The goal was to identify the potential risk factors of post-partum acute urinary retention in order to define a better prevention.
NCT00790231
Acute urinary retention is one of the most common complications after surgery and anesthesia. Overfilling the bladder can stretch and damage the detrusor muscle, leading to atony of the bladder. It can occur in patients of both sexes and all age groups and after all types of surgical procedures. Micturition depends on coordinated actions between the detrusor muscle and the external urethral sphincter. Motorneurons of both muscles are located in the sacral spinal cord and coordination between then occurs in the pontine tegmentum of the caudal brain stem. Motorneurons innervating the external urethral sphincter are located in the nucleus of Onuf, extending from the S1 to the S3 segment. The smooth detrusor muscle is inner-vated by parasympathetic fibers, which reside in the sacral intermediolateral cell group and are located in S2-4. Sympathetic fibers innervating the bladder and urethra play an important role in promoting conti-nence and are located in the intermediolateral cell group of the lumbar cord (L1-L4). Most afferent fibers from the bladder enter the sacral cord through the pelvic nerve at segments L4-S2 and the majority are thin myelinated or unmyelinated. Because peridural anesthesia can be performed at various levels of the spinal cord and with varying concentrations of local anesthetic, it is possible to block only a portion of the spinal cord (segmental blockade). So it seems logical that peridural analgesia from a Th 2-4 to Th 10-12 will have no influence on the micturition reflex. Studies on the urodynamic effects of various anaesthetic agents are rare. Under the influence of epidural analgesia, patients may not feel the urge to urinate, which may result in urinary retention and bladder over distension. Spinal and epidural opioid administrations influence the function of the lower urinary tract by direct spinal action on the sacral nociceptive neurons and autonomic fibres. It is therefore a common practice for bladder catheterisation in the presence of spinal or epidural anesthesia. The excessive use of a transurethral catheter is undoubtedly associated with significant morbidity such patient discomfort, urinary tract infections, catheter entrapment, bladder calculi formation, urethral trauma and stricture. The risk of infection with a single catheterization is 1-2% and can rise to 3 to 7 % a day. There has yet been no consensus for appropriate catheterisation strategy and urodynamic changes under thoracic epidural anesthesia are still unknown. We expect that a better knowledge on the bladder function under epidural analgesia could lead to a more restrictive use of perioperative transurethral catheters. Our hypothesis is that thoracic epidural analgesia does not influence lower urinary tract function in the male and female. Therefore transurethral catheterization is not mandatory for all patients with thoracic epidural analgesia. Differences in post void residual urine volume and urodynamic examinations before and during thoracic epidural analgesia will be analyzed in 16 men and 16 women undergoing open kidney surgery/lumbotomy who receive thoracic epidural anesthesia perioperatively.
