    Postoperative voiding cystourethrography aids in diagnosing urinary tract infections and post-prostatectomy complications. This imaging technique provides objective evaluation when symptoms and obstructive lesions show poor correlation.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Radiology
    • Postoperative care

    Background:

    • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and other complications can occur after prostatectomy.
    • Clinical symptoms of bladder outlet obstruction may not accurately correlate with the actual obstructive lesion.
    • Objective diagnostic tools are needed for accurate assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of postoperative cystourethrography in diagnosing UTIs and post-prostatectomy complications.
    • To determine the correlation between patient symptoms and objective findings of bladder outlet obstruction.
    • To recommend cystourethrography as a diagnostic tool.

    Main Methods:

    • A study was conducted involving 50 patients who underwent prostatectomy.
    • Patients were evaluated using voiding cystourethrography.

  • Findings were correlated with presenting symptoms and other diagnostic assessments.

    • Main Results:

    • Postoperative cystourethrography demonstrated value in diagnosing urinary tract infections and complications.
    • A low correlation (40%) was found between patient-reported symptoms and the presence of obstructive lesions.
    • Urinary infections can present with mixed irritative and obstructive symptoms, complicating diagnosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Voiding cystourethrography is a valuable tool for the diagnosis and management of post-prostatectomy complications.
    • It is recommended prior to endoscopic assessment of bladder outlet resistance.
    • Cystourethrography offers a more objective evaluation than symptom assessment alone.
