  • Title: Therapeutic approaches to postoperative contracture of the vesical neck.
    Author: Seppelt U.
    Journal: Endoscopy; 1981 Mar; 13(2):74-6. PubMed ID: 7227331.
    Abstract:
    Postoperative contracture is a rare cause of the secondary obstructions of the vesical neck, besides remnants of prostatic adenomas, recurrent adenoma and prostatic cancer. It appears morphologically either as circumscribed sclerosis, as so-called sphincter sclerosis, or as extensive contracture of the entire prostatic urethra. Severe postoperative contracture with an iris-shaped membrane at the site of the internal sphincter is the most frequent form up to one year after primary surgery. The overall incidence has been given as 1.37%, of which 13.6% were refractory to therapy and recurred. Special forms of therapy are discussed.
