Female bladder neck incision

Bladder neck resection or incision in the female is not a new urologic procedure; however, it has not been widely accepted because of poor results and complications. From January to December, 1986, ten such operations have been performed on females with obstructive uropathy. All had previous anti-incontinence procedures and postoperative obstruction developed. Bladder neck incisions rather than resections have been performed with encouraging results. Urologic presentation, urodynamic investigations, and details of the surgery are presented. Bladder neck incision is a valuable adjunct in the management of bladder neck obstruction in the female.
