[Postoperative sclerosis of the bladder neck in men].

Postoperative sclerosis of the bladder neck is an operative complication after removal of prostate adenoma. It was originally described by the American urologist Danslow in 1918. Personal experience is recorded in the diagnosis and treatment of 43 patients with postoperative sclerosis of the bladder neck for a period of four years. They have been treated at the Department of Urology of the Medical Academy in Sofia. Some basic methods of diagnosis of postoperative sclerosis of the bladder neck are discussed; transurethral methods of treatment--TUR and TUI--are considered the methods of choice. The postoperative results are based on the patients' complaints, on the amount of residual urine and on uroflowmetry.
