[Electrocoagulation of the paraurethral glands (Reiser's operation) in women with urethro-cystalgia].
One hundred nineteen cases of women with chronic urethrocystalgia were reviewed. The symptoms were dominated by urethral burning (83%) and pollakiuria (75%). Electrosection of the paraurethral glands according to Rieser's technique and resection of the urethral floor (100% of cases) were combined with hymeneoplasty in 9% of cases. The results concern 67 women with a mean follow-up of 6 years: cure: 36%; marked improvement: 34%; no change: 30%. The authors discuss the presence of paraurethral glands, their role in the urethrocystalgia syndrome and the place of Rieser's operation in their treatment.
