Abstract
Aim. To assess function of urinary retention and irritative symptoms from the lower urinary tracts in patients after radical prostatectomy for local prostatic cancer.
Material and methods. From November 1997 to May 2001 radical prostatectomy was performed in 181 patients. One year after the operation 86 patients with pTlc-T2b filled in the questionnaire on urinary retention (UR) and irritative symptoms. Results. One year after radical prostatectomy complete UR was registered in 76% of the patients, partial UR in 20.5% and unsatisfactory UR in 3.5%. Uroflowmetrical and ultrasound investigations, urine seeding made possible to select 16 patients with irritative symptoms. 11 patients of this group received alpha-adrenoblocker terazosin with a good response.
Conclusion. One year after radical prostatectomy UR (complete or partial) was observed in 96.5% patients. Irritative symptoms unrelated to stricture of vesicourethral anastomosis and inflammation can be eliminated by administration of terazosin.
