[Dysuric symptoms following prostatectomy (author's transl)].
A certain number of patients suffer from symptoms after the operation for benign prostatic hypertrophy. 22 patients with persisting symptoms after TUR were investigated. Neither obstruction nor infection was seen. The urodynamic assessment showed pathological changes of detrusor function in most patients. In 5 patients detrusor instability was seen and in 12 patients hypotonic or atonic detrusors were demonstrated. 5 patients had normal bladder function. Causes for persisting symptoms after operation are discussed. It is stressed, that patients with preoperative normal flow-rates should be investigated urodynamically in order to avoid a wrong indication for prostatectomy. If symptoms persist postoperatively, an urodynamic assessment is again helpful for a reasonable therapeutic approach.
