[Diagnosis and treatment of functional bladder neck obstruction]

The experience with 32 patients with functional bladder neck obstruction is presented and this condition is discussed. This disease occurred mainly in males from the age of 6 months to 50 years. There was only one female patient. The most important investigations were the micturating cystogram, the flow-rate and the measurement of the residual urine. The bladder neck incision, as proposed by Turner-Warwick, relieved symptoms and obstruction in all patients efficiently.
