OBJECTIVES: To determine the efficacy of tamsulosin in preventing acute urinary retention following early catheter removal after radical retropubic prostatectomy.
METHODS: Between February 2000 and October 2000, cystography was performed on postoperative day 7 after radical retropubic prostatectomy by a single surgeon (group 1). Between September 2001 and August 2002, cystography was performed on postoperative day 8 after radical retropubic prostatectomy by the same surgeon (group 2). The protocol for performing cystography and assessment of extravasation was similar for both groups. Tamsulosin 0.4 mg was administered 3 days before and 4 days after cystography for all men in group 2.
RESULTS: Of 179 cystograms in group 1, 135 (75%) revealed no extravasation, and the catheters were removed in 130 of these cases. Of 246 cystograms in group 2, 230 (93.5%) revealed no extravasation, and the catheters were removed in 229 of these cases. A significantly greater proportion of men in group 2 had no extravasation (P = 0.0007). The incidence of acute urinary retention in groups 1 and 2 was 10% and 2.6%, respectively (P = 0.0018). The incidence of anastomotic stricture was not significantly different between the two groups.
CONCLUSIONS: Our data strongly suggest that tamsulosin significantly reduces the risk of acute urinary retention after attempts at early catheter removal following radical retropubic prostatectomy. Therefore, we recommend administering a 7-day course of tamsulosin therapy when attempting to remove the urinary catheter before postoperative day 8.
