    Radical hysterectomy can cause long-term urinary dysfunction, including incontinence and bladder compliance issues. These urodynamic changes persist over a year post-surgery, regardless of surgical extent.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gynecologic Oncology

    Background:

    • Radical hysterectomy is a major surgery for gynecologic cancers.
    • Postoperative urinary dysfunction is a potential complication.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To comprehensively evaluate urodynamic changes after radical hysterectomy.
    • To assess the persistence and nature of urethrovesical dysfunction.

    Main Methods:

    • Urodynamic evaluation using sensitive instrumentation (microtip transducers) pre- and postoperatively.
    • Assessment of twelve patients undergoing radical hysterectomy.
    • One-year follow-up period.

    Main Results:

    • Five patients developed genuine stress incontinence.
    • Four patients experienced loss of bladder compliance.

  • Other observed dysfunctions included impaired flow, sensory loss, and motor deficits.
  • These changes were persistent beyond one year.
  • No significant relationship found between dysfunction and surgical radicality.

    • Conclusions:

    • Radical hysterectomy is associated with significant and persistent urodynamic abnormalities.
    • Urethrovesical dysfunction is a common sequela, impacting bladder function and continence.
    • Surgical radicality does not appear to correlate with the degree of dysfunction.
