ABSTRACT
Background:
Postoperative urinary retention is a commonly encountered problem after anal surgery particularly under spinal anesthesia. Bethanchol chloride, a muscarinic cholinergic receptor agonist was used to determine whether it could prevent this problem.Methods:
One hundred six patients with mean age of 37+ 9 who underwent anal surgery under spinal anesthesia from January to August 2007 were included in this nonblinded randomized prospective experimental study. Forty- six patients were given bethanechol chloride 25mg/tab 1 hour post- op then another dose after 4-6 hours. Those with the urge to void but unable to do so within the hour or had hypogastric pain (VAS > 8) were immediately catheterized and the amount drain recorded.Conclusion:
Although bethanechol chloride did not completely prevent the development of postoperative urinary retention, it use was associated with reduced need for the catheterization.
