Abstract:
The aim of this study was to assess the value of transrectal sonourethrography in the diagnosis of dysuria after bipolar transurethral plasmakinetic prostatectomy (TUPKP). Seventy-seven male patients with dysuria after TUPKP underwent transrectal sonourethrography. The clinical data were then compared with the surgical outcomes. The following pathologies were diagnosed: Bladder neck atresia (17/77), bladder orifice strictures (15/77), membranous urethral strictures (21/77), pars cavernosa urethral stricture (12/77), residual prostate gland (5/77), external urethral orifice stricture (2/77), calculi in the prostatic urethra (2/77), flap in the internal urethral orifice (2/77), and postoperative dysfunction of the bladder detrusor muscle (1/77). Transrectal sonourethrography is a reliable diagnostic method for numerous pathologies that occur in patients with dysuria after TUPKP and is a clinically useful tool.
