Urinary retention in young children and infancy is relatively rare. The commonest malignancy cause of bladder outlet obstruction in infancy is prostatic rhabdomyosarcoma; the commonest cause of congenital bladder outlet obstruction in a male infantis posterior urethral valve and the commonest cause of urethral obstruction in male children is urethral calculi. We present here a report on three c...

DOI: 10.21276/sjams.2017.5.9.36 Abstract: The diagnosis and management of bladder outlet obstruction among postmenopausal patients is a complex process with various modalities available for its diagnosis. Cystourethroscopy is an important tool for the same and we intend to study if it is enough in the diagnosis of the presence and degree of bladder outlet obstruction in post-menopausal female p...

PURPOSE We attempted to improve the method of objective clinical evaluation of patients with benign prostatic enlargement and lower urinary tract symptoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS We compared the results of free uroflowmetry and transrectal ultrasound prostate size determination with those of pressure-flow analysis of bladder outlet obstruction in 871 consecutive elderly men. RESULTS Maximal ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the utility of gastrojejunostomy for the palliation of gastric outlet obstruction in irresectable or incurable gastric carcinoma. METHODS This is a retrospective review of 67 patients who underwent a gastrojejunostomy for gastric outlet obstruction caused by gastric carcinoma between 1 January 1996 and 31 May 2003. RESULTS There were 19 complications after surgery, ...

PURPOSE We evaluated the urodynamic and clinical effects of terazosin in patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 45 patients who participated in a multicenter trial was evaluated with urodynamic pressure-flow studies before and after 26 weeks of treatment. RESULTS Maximum flow rate and symptom score improved significantly in 22 patients...

BACKGROUND Gastric outlet obstruction poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges to general surgeons practicing in resource-limited countries. There is a paucity of published data on this subject in our setting. This study was undertaken to highlight the etiological spectrum and treatment outcome of gastric outlet obstruction in our setting and to identify prognostic factors for morbidity and ...

OBJECTIVE To determine if bladder outlet obstruction can be adequately relieved after laser prostatectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Since November 1992, a total of 105 patients underwent laser treatment of the prostate because of complaints related to benign prostatic enlargement (BPE). To date, urodynamic data from a study of pressure flow analysis are available for 79 patients both at baseline ...

In women, urethral condyloma rarely leads to a bladder outlet obstruction. A 39-year-old woman who presented with frequency, urgency, and residual urine sensation was found to have a condyloma in her urethral meatus. Urodynamic study indicated bladder outlet obstruction. After condyloma excision, she returned to normal voiding, and the free maximum flow rate improved. In women, excision of uret...

Subcapsular urinomas have been reported in the past as a presenting feature of ureteric or bladder outlet obstruction, generally in children, and often associated with neurogenic bladders. We describe a case of spontaneous asymptomatic bilateral subcapsular urinomas in an adult male with high pressure retention of urine secondary to bladder outlet obstruction. An extensive literature review sho...

Gastric outlet obstruction due to ulceration is extremely rare in childhood. We report a case of gastric outlet obstruction possibly secondary to peptic ulceration and our surgical management. Our approach, without vagotomy or antrectomy, would appear to be a safe and effective.
