title: Incidence of vesicle neck contracture complicating prostatic resection in hemodialysis patients.
abstract: Four hemodialysis patients with no or minimal urine output underwent transurethral resection of the prostate. Bladder neck contractures developed postoperatively in all 4 cases. A review of the literature demonstrated no emphasis on the relatively high incidence of this complication in hemodialysis patients. A discussion of the possible etiology, diagnosis and therapeutic modalities is presented.
