[Bladder neck contracture after surgery for benigne prostate hyperplasia]

Bladder neck contracture (BNC) is a common complication following surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), with incidence rates varying depending on the therapeutic approach. Numerous techniques for managing BNC have been described in the literature. For the initial presentation of BNC, endoscopic treatment is generally recommended as the first-line therapy. In cases of recurrent BNC, however, open surgical reconstruction, such as YV or T-plasty, is considered the preferred treatment option. Additionally, robot-assisted surgery is increasingly being integrated into the surgical management of BNC. Currently, no standardized treatment protocol exists for this condition. This review provides a systematic overview of bladder neck contracture and the current therapeutic strategies available.
