Abstract
- PURPOSE
Detrusor instability is common in men with benign prostatic hypertroplasia(B.P.H.) and known to be reversed in about two thirds of patients after operation. We evaluated the fate of detrusor instability in B.P.H patients after operation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
In 11 patients with urgency or urge incontinence combined with B.P.H., cystometries were performed at baseline and 3 months after operation.
RESULTS
Detrusor instability associated with B.P.H was reversed postoperatively in 7 patients (63.6%).
CONCLUSIONS
Detrusor instability with urgency or urge incontinence can be managed by operation for B.P.H. This will improve the quality of life for B.P.H. patients.
