We compared the primary urodynamic parameter of maximum detrusor pressure, and secondary urodynamic parameters of bladder capacity and post-void residual urine volume in men who underwent sphincterotomy or sphincteric stent placement. Parameters were measured preoperatively, and 3, 6, 12 and 24 months postoperatively. Patients completed questionnaires regarding voiding sensation and quality of life issues at each followup visit.Results: Demographic data of the 26 patients treated with sphincterotomy and the 31 treated with sphincte...
