Introduction And Hypothesis:
To compare long-term lower urinary tract dysfunction after radical hysterectomy in patients with or without early postoperative voiding dysfunction.
Methods:
Thirty patients at least 2 years after radical hysterectomy were evaluated with multichannel urodynamic studies. Fifteen patients (group A) had early postoperative voiding dysfunction (required urethral catheterization more than 1 month), and 15 patients (group B) had no early postoperative voiding dysfunction.
Results:
Overall voiding dysfunction was more prevalent in group A than group B (73.3% versus 33.3%, p > 0.05). In particular, high postvoid residual urine and abdominal straining increased significantly in group A (40% versus 0% and 60% versus 13.3%, respectively). Total and all domains scores from Urogenital Distress Inventory and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire were not different between both groups.
Conclusion:
High postvoid residual urine and abdominal straining increased significantly in patients with early postoperative voiding dysfunction without impairment on quality of life.
