Transurethral Incision of the Bladder Neck with or without Additional Procedure Resumes Spontaneous Voiding in Female Voiding Dysfunction—A Long-Term Retrospective Follow-Up
Aim: This study evaluated the long-term effectiveness of transurethral incision of the bladder neck (TUI-BN) with or without an additional procedure for female voiding dysfunction. Methods: Women with voiding difficulty who underwent TUI-BN in the last 12 years were included. All patients underwent...

Sumario: | Aim: This study evaluated the long-term effectiveness of transurethral incision of the bladder neck (TUI-BN) with or without an additional procedure for female voiding dysfunction. Methods: Women with voiding difficulty who underwent TUI-BN in the last 12 years were included. All patients underwent a videourodynamics study (VUDS) at baseline and after TUI-BN. A successful outcome was defined as having a voiding efficiency (VE) increase by ≥50% after treatment. Patients with insufficient improvement were chosen for repeated TUI-BN, urethral onabotulinumtoxinA injection, or transurethral external sphincter incision (TUI-ES). The current voiding status, surgical complications, and additional surgeries were evaluated. Results: A total of 102 women with VUDS evidence of a narrow bladder neck during voiding were enrolled. The long-term success rate of the first TUI-BN was 29.4% (30/102) and increased to 66.7% (34/51) after combining TUI-BN and an additional procedure. The overall long-term success rates were 74.6% in women with detrusor underactivity (DU), 52.0% in detrusor overactivity and low contractility, 50.0% in bladder neck obstruction, 20.0% in hypersensitive bladder, and 75% in stable bladder (p = 0.022). Patients with a lower maximum flow rate (Qmax), (p = 0.002), lower voided volume (p < 0.001), lower corrected Qmax (p < 0.001), lower ladder contractility index (p = 0.003), lower voiding efficiency (p < 0.001), but larger post-void residual volume (p < 0.001) had a satisfactory surgical outcome. Spontaneous voiding was achieved in 66 (64.7%) patients, de novo urinary incontinence in 21 (20.6%), and vesicovaginal fistula in 4 (3.9%), all were repaired. Conclusions: TUI-BN alone or in combination with an additional procedure was safe, effective, and durable in patients with DU to resume spontaneous voiding. |
