Davening when on had to use the bathroom

Question:

If a person davened when needing to use the restroom for #1, does he repeat his davening?

Answer:

If he was able to wait 72 minutes before using the bathroom when he started Shmona Esrei then he does not have to repeat his davening. However, if he couldn’t wait that long then it is questionable if he has to daven again. There is an opinioln a source that if he is knows how to daven a tefilas nedava (he can concentrate the whole Shmona Esrei, and he can add something to the middle brachos) he should do so.
