Abstract:
Bladder neck contracture is usually a complication of prostatectomy and the treatment of choice in such a condition should be endoscopic surgery. However, in a few patients the bladder neck may be completely obstructed preventing retrograde access into the bladder. A case is presented of complete bladder neck obstruction occurring after transurethral resection of prostate, which was treated after an access was provided by using transurethral Seldinger technique.
