Bladder Neck Contracture Articles

To describe a novel tabularized bladder flap technique for repair of post-traumatic obliterate bladder neck and urethral stricture in women. Traumatic genitourinary injury in females is rare, and generally associated with pelvic fracture.

Postprostatectomy vesicourethral anastomotic stenosis (VUAS) remains a challenging problem for both patient and urologist. Improved surgical techniques and perioperative identification and treatment of risk factors has led to a decline over the last several decades.

There is contradictory evidence in literature with respect to the association of asymptomatic prostatic inflammation on biopsy with complications of Transurethral Resection of Prostate. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association of prostatitis in biopsy specimens of patients undergoing transurethral resection of prostate with bladder neck contracture (the primary end point) and other complications.

This article reviews the mechanisms, risk factors, evaluation and current management options for iatrogenic lower urinary tract stenosis, including urethral stricture and bladder neck contracture, caused by surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

This article discusses the incidence, evaluation, and treatment of bladder outlet obstruction from urethral stricture, vesicourethral anastomotic stricture, and bladder neck contracture following primary and salvage treatment of prostate cancer.

Bladder outlet obstruction due to stenosis or stricture of the posterior urethra is a common urologic diagnosis whose etiology can often be traced to prior urethral manipulation or iatrogenic trauma1.

Bladder neck contracture is a well-known complication following some urologic surgical procedures. Regardless of the surgical procedure, any specimen resected should be submitted for histopathological evaluation worldwide.

To examine the use of Direct Visual Internal Urethrotomy with Mitomycin-C (DVIU-MMC) for bladder neck contracture (BNC) and vesicourethral anastomotic stenosis (VUAS) in men who have undergone treatment for prostate cancer with radical prostatectomy and/or radiation therapy.

To review a robotic approach to recalcitrant bladder neck obstruction and assess success and incontinence rates.

Patients with a recalcitrant bladder neck contracture or vesicourethral anastomotic stenosis who underwent robotic bladder neck reconstruction (RBNR) were identified.

We aimed to provide a thorough comparative review of the available guidelines on the diagnosis, management, and follow-up for patients with posterior urethral stenosis by the American Urologic Association (2016), Société Internationale d'Urologie (2010), and European Urologic Association (2022).

To characterize anterior urinary fistulae following radiotherapy for prostate cancer.

Over 10 years, 31 men were identified to have an anterior urinary fistula. A retrospective database was created to evaluate patient demographics, presentation, diagnostic procedures, operative interventions, outcomes, and complications.

To evaluate surgical outcomes stratified by posterior urethral obstruction (PUO) etiology in men undergoing definitive robotic posterior urethral reconstruction.

A retrospective, single surgeon, review of men undergoing robotic posterior urethral reconstruction between 2018 and 2020 was performed.

To demonstrate the technique and the outcomes of robot assisted Y-V plasty bladder neck reconstruction (RYVBNR).

We present our technique for treatment of recalcitrant bladder neck contracture (BNC) in seven patients who underwent RYVBNR at our institution between March 2016 and September 2017.

To report the intermediate- to long-term outcomes of bladder neck incision (BNI) for vesico-urethral anastomosis stricture (VUAS) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and the influence of pre- or post-RARP radiotherapy on these outcomes.

To compare the safety and efficacy of thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuLEP) versus thulium laser resection of the prostate (TmLRP) in small prostates (≤ 30 g) and to test the validity of ThuLEP for bladder neck contracture (BNC).

To investigate the predictors of recurrence and of de novo incontinence in patients treated by transurethral incision or resection for vesico-urethral anastomotic stenosis (VUAS) after radical prostatectomy.
