Abstract:
Objective To discuss the efficacy of transurethral electro-resection combined with needle electrode treatment for bladder neck contracture after treatments of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH).Methods A total of 45 cases of bladder neck contracture that developed after treatments of BPH were treated with transurethral electro-resection combined with needle electrode treatment in our hospital.During the operation,the raised posterior lip of the bladder neck was cut at 6 o’clock point,and then the scar tissues at 3 and 9 o’clock points were resected to expose the bladder detrusor.The scar tissues at 12 o’clock point should be removed as much as possible so that the bladder neck could be repaired easily.Afterwards,the fibrotic ring of the bladder neck was cut through at 5 and 7 o’clock points with a needle electrode,the fat tissues covering the bladder could be exposed.Results After the operation,43 of the cases restored normal urine flow.The other 2 patients could urinate despite of mild dysuria,and the symptom was then improved by oral ?1 antagonist and M agonist.Fifteen patients developed micturition frequency and urgency,and odynuria,and were cured pontaneously in two weeks.No patient showed urinary bleeding,stricture,incontinence,or recto-vesical fistula.Follow-up was available in the patients for 3 to 30 months(mean,15 months),during the period,reexaminations showed a Qmax of 15.5-24.3 ml/s(mean,19.5),and residual urine after urination of 0-35 ml(mean,20).No relapse of bladder neck contracture occurred in this series.Conclusions Transurethral electro-resection combined with needle electrode treatment is effective for patients with bladder neck contracture after treatments of BPH.The rate of relapse is low after the operation.
