Investigation of postprostatectomy problems

P H Abrams

    Urology
    |February 1, 1980

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Post-prostatectomy symptoms like slow stream are often due to an underactive detrusor, not obstruction. Urodynamic studies accurately diagnose issues like bladder hypersensitivity, instability, or low sphincter pressures, guiding treatment for incontinence and obstruction.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Post-prostatectomy syndrome (PPS) encompasses a range of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
    • Accurate diagnosis of LUTS post-prostatectomy is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the urodynamic findings associated with specific post-prostatectomy symptoms.
    • To determine the diagnostic utility of urodynamic studies in patients with PPS.

    Main Methods:

    • Sixty patients with post-prostatectomy problems underwent urodynamic studies.
    • Urethral profilometry was used to assess sphincter pressures.

    Main Results:

    • Slow stream and hesitancy correlated more with underactive detrusor than persistent obstruction.

  • Urgency, frequency, and urge incontinence were linked to bladder hypersensitivity and instability.
  • Stress incontinence was associated with low sphincter pressures.

    • Conclusions:

    • Urodynamic studies provide accurate diagnosis for post-prostatectomy LUTS.
    • Seventeen percent of patients had persistent obstruction, indicating potential benefit from further surgery.
