Résumé
Bladder neck stricture (BNS) is a bothersome disease which may affect patients after trauma or prostatic surgery. It is frustrating due to the low durable success rate of currently available surgical techniques. The aim of the study is to explore the efficacy of a novel technique. The surgical protocol was developed by two high case-volume surgeons. The technique consists of Holmium laser incisions at 3-6-9-12 o'clock. Subsequently, triamcinolone acetonide 40 mg is injected. Two months later, the BNS is endoscopically checked in operatory room and re-procedure take place, if necessary (max 3 times). Failure was defined as the need of definitive urinary diversion. Subjective satisfaction was measured through PGI-I Questionnaire. A total of 45 patients were enrolled. Median age was 63 (IQR 59-69) years and BNS developed by different causes. Naïve BNS procedure patients were 12 (26.7%), others 33 (73.3%) underwent median 2 (IQR 1-4) previous urethrotomies, including 16 other surgeries. Suprapubic bladder catheter was present in 34 patients (75.6%). No complications were registered. Re-procedure at control was necessary in 24 patients (53.3%) for a median of 1 (IQR 1-3) procedures. At median follow-up of 18 months, failures were 4 (8.9%) and urinary incontinence was reported in 2 patients (4.5%) who required incontinence surgery. Median PGI-I was 2. Our technique of BNS treatment allows good outcomes and high rate of subjective improvement amongst patients. Moreover, naïve patients seem to have better results. However, longer follow-up and higher sample size are mandatory to further assess these data.
