Title: External sphincterotomy at the 12 o'clock position. Author: Carrion HM, Brown BT, Politano VA. Journal: J Urol; 1979 Apr; 121(4):462-3. PubMed ID: 439219. Abstract: Transurethral resection of the external sphincter was done at the 12 o'clock position 61 times in 60 men. There was a 2.8 per cent incidence of postoperative impotence and a 75 per cent cure of vesicoureteral reflux but there was only a 65 per cent success rate of decreasing post-voiding residual urine after 6 months. The techniques and applications of the procedure are discussed.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
