Abstrakt: - The notes of 134 consecutive patients undergoing bladder neck incision (BNI) were analysed retrospectively. Details of pre-operative symptoms and the short-term results of the operation were studied, as well as the need for reoperation. Long-term results of the operation were not available in 100 patients and a questionnaire was sent to them asking for details of their present symptoms. This produced results on the long-term follow-up of 107 patients with a mean follow-up of 31 months (range 18-48); 86% of patients showed an improvement in symptoms in the short term whilst 68% maintained a subjective improvement in symptoms in the long term. Further surgery was required in 18 patients (13%). Possible reasons for this are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
