Progress in diagnosis and treatment of post-prostatectomy bladder neck contracture
Bladder neck contracture(BNC)is a condition of unknown etiology and lacks reliable predictive factors.Post-prostatectomy BNC is most often secondary to surgeries of benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostate cancer and is associated with surgical access and surgical technique.Trauma repair is an important basis for the development of BNC.Post-prostatectomy BNC can be relieved by conservative treatment or endourologic treat-ment.Although the incidence of BNC has tended to decrease with the refinement of surgical and minimally inva-sive techniques,there are still the important problems of high recurrence rates,low treatment success,as well as high cost.There is a lack of standardized management strategies for post-prostatectomy BNC,so individualized treatment protocols should be adopted.
