Functional bladder neck obstruction. Results of endoscopic bladder neck incision in 131 consecutive patients.
Endoscopic diathermy incision of the bladder neck was carried out as a routine procedure in 131 consecutive male patients with an established diagnosis of functional bladder neck obstruction. Follow-up after 3 months revealed excellent symptomatic and urodynamic results. Morbidity was low and the post-operative stay in hospital short (median 2 days). Patients must be informed of the risk of retrograde ejaculation associated with the procedure and objective evidence of the diagnosis is essential.
