Abstract
- Purpose: To report the development of panurethral stricture disease and other lower urinary tract abnormalities as a complication of photovaporization of the prostate (PVP). Patients and Methods: We evaluated three patients who were referred for the treatment of urethral stricture disease after PVP. Evaluation included antegrade cystoscopy, urethroscopy, retrograde urethrography, and cystourethrography. Results: All three patients had panurethral stricture disease, and a low capacity bladder with bilateral vesicoureteral reflux had developed in one patient as a complication of PVP. Conclusions: Although not previously reported, a potential complication of PVP is devastating panurethral stricture disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
