Symptoms and urodynamics after unsuccessful transurethral prostatectomy.
The aim of this study is to make symptomatic and urodynamic evaluation of the patients after unsuccessful primary transurethral prostatectomy (TURP). Symptom score was not significantly different before and after TURP. Voiding symptoms were improved but storage symptoms were impaired as well as a quality of life. Free flow was fairly improved after prostatectomy as well as obstruction grade. Detrusor instability and residual obstruction were the most frequently recognized factors for voiding disturbances. Secondary TURP, or bladder neck incision are indicated in only 25% of patients so it should be performed more cautiously.
