Is the use of parasympathomimetics for treating an underactive bladder evidence based?
- An underactive urinary bladder (UUB), often occurring after surgery, can lead to urinaryretention even in otherwise healthy people. We systematically reviewed publishedreports to determine whether the use of parasympathomimetic agents is warranted inpatients with a UUB.
