    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Female Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction

    Background:

    • Bladder neck obstruction (BNO) is a rare condition in women.
    • Symptoms of BNO in women are often nonspecific and difficult to diagnose.

    Observation:

    • Diagnosis requires demonstrating poor uroflow, adequate detrusor contraction, and radiographic evidence of obstruction at the vesical neck.
    • Three women with confirmed BNO were treated.

    Findings:

    • Successful treatment of bladder neck obstruction was achieved in all three patients.
    • Transurethral vesical neck incision proved to be an effective treatment modality.

    Implications:

    • Transurethral vesical neck incision is a viable surgical option for managing female bladder neck obstruction.
  • Further research into the diagnosis and management of this rare condition is warranted.
