Purpose:
To report the development of panurethral stricture disease and other lower urinary tract abnormalities as a complication of photovaporization of the prostate (PVP).
Patients And Methods:
We evaluated three patients who were referred for the treatment of urethral stricture disease after PVP. Evaluation included antegrade cystoscopy, urethroscopy, retrograde urethrography, and cystourethrography.
Results:
All three patients had panurethral stricture disease, and a low capacity bladder with bilateral vesicoureteral reflux had developed in one patient as a complication of PVP.
Conclusions:
Although not previously reported, a potential complication of PVP is devastating panurethral stricture disease.
