Abstract
In an 11-year period, 49 patients developed bladder neck contracture after prostatectomy--an incidence of 0.86%. This complication was found to be more common after resection of small fibrous hyperplastic prostates. The best results for treatment of the contracture were obtained after bladder neck incision, which gave a 9% incidence of recurrence; after transurethral resection of the bladder neck contracture the recurrence rate was 46%, and after bladder neck dilatation it rose to 100%.Keywords
