  • Title: Indication and value of bladder neck incision.
    Author: Jonas U, Petri E, Hohenfellner R.
    Journal: Urol Int; 1979; 34(4):260-5. PubMed ID: 473431.
    Abstract:
    200 bladder neck incisions in 172 patients with mechanical or functional outlet obstruction of neurogenic and nonneurogenic etiology are reported. The incision was performed with an electric cautery needle at 5--7--12 o'clock. Parameters of success were, beside the subjective reports, residual urine, urinary flow and a sophisticated urodynamic study. 71% of the women and 76% of the men showed improvement or relief of symptoms. Retrograde ejaculation was observed in only 7% of the men; the rate of complications was 2.5%. Despite limited experience and the lack of long-term follow-up, this technique is recommended for routine use.
