ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the curative effect of transurethral electrosection for the treatment of bladder neck sclerosis in senile patients. Methods Clinical data of 36 aged patients with bladder neck sclerosis treated by transurethral electrosection in this hospital from February to September, 2000, were reviewed. The curative effect was evaluated according to the improvement of dysuria, residual urine volume (RUV) and Qmax before and after the surgery. Results Follow-up for 3～18 months (mean, 7 months) in 30 patients showed an effective rate of 86.7% (26/30) and no severe complications. Conclusions Transurethral electrosection is an effective alternative for bladder neck sclerosis in senile men.
