Abstract
A randomized prospective trial with 108 patients undergoing anorectal surgery was conducted comparing the use of Urecholine orally or subcutaneously to no treatment controls. There was no difference in postoperative urinary retention rates and caudal or general anesthesia, nor was there an earlier postoperative bowel movement with Urecholine. The volume of intravenous fluids significantly affected retention rates.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
