    Abstract:
    Endoscopic diathermy unilateral incision of the bladder neck was carried out in 100 consecutive male patients. This procedure was performed for bladder neck obstruction and small benign prostate. The operative details of this technique are given. Follow-up after 2 months revealed excellent symptomatic and urodynamic results. Morbidity was low. Results remain stable after 13 +/- 9 months. One patient needed a transurethral resection of the prostate. Retrograde ejaculation occurred in 5% of the patients. Unilateral bladder neck incision is a simple procedure safe, and easy to learn, with a low risk of retrograde ejaculation. It is the operation of choice for small benign prostate, bladder neck obstruction and young patients.
