Abstract

Clinical and urodynamic evaluation of a series of 35 patients aged between 49 and 85 years. Clinical symptoms presented post-miocapsulotomy reduction both in obstructive and irritative signs and symptoms in 97.2% and 91.6% cases, respectively. Likewise, a decrease in peak flow and peak flow percentile was shown in 80.5% and 80% of cases, respectively. Vesical instability was seen in 90.9% and 55.5% of cases in pre- and post-operative studies respectively. An statistically significant post-operative drop (p < 0.05) in the detrusor's peak pressure during miction, (76.6 vs. 56 cm H2O), was confirmed. From our results it may be concluded that MC is a useful surgical technique in the treatment of prostatic obstruction, with the advantage versus other techniques that very frequently it preserves the proximal urinary continence mechanism and the sexual sphincter.
