[Bladder dysfunctions years after radical hysterectomy without subsequent radiation therapy for cervical cancer. A urodynamic investigation. (author's transl)].
52% (21/40) of patients treated for cervical cancer by a radical hysterectomy without subsequent radiation therapy, complained months and years later still about a significant bladder dystunction and about urinary incontinence. A urodynamic investigation of the urologically sumptomatic cases revealed a severe hypertonus of the detrusor muscle in 58% (10/17). Uninhibited detrusor contractions are not typical of the bladder dysfunction after radical hysterectomy. The urinary incontinence was in most cases a mixed one, where a hypertonic detrusor and a sphincter incontinence are both present.
