Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To study the factors that affect the prognosis of the patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) after prostatectomy. METHODS: Using urodynamic methods, we studied 50 BPH patients with embarrassing outcomes after prostatectomy. RESULTS: Detrusor instability (Dl) appeared in 20 (40%) patients. Twelve (24%) patients suffered from weak contractility of the detrusor and 18 (36%) patients had bladder outlet obstruction. CONCLUSIONS: Dl, weak contractility of the detrusor and bladder outlet obstruction are the most frequent causes affecting the prognosis of BPH patients after prostatectomy. Urodynamics may play a significant role in the identification of the causes of unsatisfied prognosis of BPH patients.
