Surgery for BPH with impaired detrusor contractility: a report of 12 cases / 中华男科学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To assess the outcome of prostatectomy simultaneously with suprapubic punctual cystostomy for BPH patients with impaired detrusor contractility.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Twelve cases of BPH with impaired detrusor contractility were diagnosed by urodynamic examination from 2002 to 2005. The patients underwent prostatectomy simultaneously with suprapubic punctual cystostomy and were followed up for a year.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Nine of the patients, at the average age of 69.00 +/- 5.13 years and with a short history of LUST, were restored to normal bladder function, while the other 3, older than 78 years and with a longer LUST history, failed to respond to the treatment.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>BPH patients with impaired detrusor contractility that are younger and have a shorter LUST history could benefit from prostatectomy simultaneously with suprapubic punctual cystostomy, but the older ones with a longer LUST history should be treated by suprapubic punctual cystostomy alone.</p>
