Adrenergic receptors are located in the bladder neck and proximal urethra, and blocking these receptors with al\u2010pha\u2010blockers such as phenoxybenzamine (Dibenzyline) may improve micturition and prevent postoperative urinary retention. In a randomized clinical trial, 51 patients who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy, received a prophylactic dose of Dibenzyline 10 \u03bcg orally 6\u20108 hours after operation and again the next day about 18 hours later. Only 2 of the 51 patients were found to have urinary retention, in comparison with 9 of 48 patients in the control group (p&gt;0.05). Another group of patients who underwent vaginal hysterectomy were treated according to the same protocol. Eight of the 30 patients in this study group required catheterization to drain the overdistended bladder, in comparison with 16 of 26 patients in the control group (p&gt;0.025). It seems from this clinical trial that prophylactic treatment with Dibenzyline is recommended after abdominal hysterectomy or vaginal operation in order to improve micturition and prevent urinary retention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3109\/00016348309156234","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,12,8]],"date-time":"2009-12-08T18:00:06Z","timestamp":1260295206000},"page":"337-340","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Prevention of Post\u2010Hysterectomy Urinary Retention by Alpha\u2010Adrenergic Blocker"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"Pinhas M.","family":"Livne","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Boris","family":"Kaplan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yardena","family":"Ovadia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ciro","family":"Servadio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","first-page":"255","article-title":"The use of alpha adrenergic blockers in benign prostatic obstruction","volume":"48","author":"Caine M.","year":"1976","journal-title":"Br J Urol"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","first-page":"8","volume-title":"Abdominal and Vaginal Hysterectomy","author":"Cohen S.
