Rectus Abdominis Detrusor Myoplasty for Urinary Retention
This study is looking at a surgery called Rectus Abdominis Detrusor Myoplasty (RADM) for people with urinary retention, which means your bladder doesn't empty well. In this surgery, a part of your abdominal (belly) muscle is used to help your bladder squeeze and release urine. The study aims to see if this surgery improves how well your bladder works, specifically looking at bladder compliance (how much it can stretch), detrusor pressure (the pressure inside your bladder), and if detrusor overactivity (bladder muscle spasms) changes. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 75 years old, have a bladder that doesn't contract well, and other treatments haven't worked. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 50 participants.
- Study design
- This is an observational study looking at the outcomes of a specific surgery. It plans to include 50 participants.
- What's involved
- You would undergo the Rectus Abdominis Detrusor Myoplasty surgery. Your progress will be monitored for one year after the surgery.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for 1 year after the surgery, with measurements taken at 6 months and 1 year.

What this trial measures
- Change in Bladder Compliance6 Months and 1 Year Post-Op
Bladder compliance will be calculated as the change in bladder volume divided by the change in detrusor pressure during the filling phase and reported in milliliters per centimeter of water (mL/cm H₂O).
- Change in Detrusor Pressure6 Months and 1 Year Post-Op
Detrusor pressure during filling and voiding, including detrusor pressure at maximum flow, will be reported in centimeters of water (cm H₂O).
- Change in presence of Detrusor Overactivity6 Months and 1 Year Post-Op
Detrusor overactivity will be recorded as a binary variable (present or absent) based on the occurrence of involuntary detrusor contractions during filling.
- Change in Urinary Flow Rate6 Months and 1 Year Post-Op
Maximum urinary flow rate will be reported in milliliters per second (mL/s).
- Change In Post-Void Residual Urine Volume in Urine6 Months and 1 Year Post-Op
Post-void residual volume will be measured immediately following voiding and reported in milliliters (mL).
