The treatment of incomplete bladder emptying in females by bladder neck incision.

Thirty females suffering from incomplete bladder emptying underwent bladder neck incision. All patients had undergone some form of therapy earlier without success. The bladder neck incision was often an alternative to repeated catheterizations or an indwelling catheter. In 7 patients (23%) the result was excellent, 12 other patients (40%) benefited from the operation. The role of this operation and possible complications is discussed.
