MANAGEMENT OF FUNCTIONAL BLADDER NECK OBSTRUCTION IN WOMEN: USE OF α-BLOCKERS AND PEDIATRIC RESECTOSCOPE FOR BLADDER NECK INCISION

Abstract

Clean intermittent self-catheterization and alpha-blockers are the initial treatment options for functional bladder neck obstruction. The alpha-blockers were successful in 50% of our patients. Bladder neck incision should be offered judiciously with minimal risk of curable stress incontinence. The pediatric resectoscope is useful to make a well controlled incision safely in the female urethra.
