Does Temporary Catheter Drainage of Urine Improves Detrusor Function in Chronic Urinary Retention in Patients with Bladder Outlet Obstruction?
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Chronic urinary retention (CUR) secondary to bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in spite of being a frequently encountered clinical problem, there are lacunae in the understanding of its patho mechanisms and management protocols in humans. International Continence Society defined CUR as “a non-painful bladder, which remains palpable or percussible after the patient has passed urine” [1]. However the practiced definition of CUR is “post void residual (PVR) urine of >300 ml in men who are voiding, or >1000 ml in men who are unable to void” [2,3].
