[Secondary sclerosis of the prostatic compartment after surgical treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy]

In an 8-year period, 10 patients/1,280 developed bladder neck sclerosis following prostatectomy--an incidence of 0.78%. The mean age is 66 years (range 45-88).clinical signs of the disease are characteristic of infravesical obstruction confirmed by uroflow and X-ray examination. The best results for the treatment of the contracture were obtained after bladder neck incision and transuretral resection of the bladder neck contracture which gave--with mean follow-up of 12 months (range 7-24 months)--0% incidence of recurrence but after bladder neck dilatation it rose 100%.
