Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
An unusually high incidence of urinary incontinence following transurethral resection of the prostate has been reported in patients with myasthenia gravis who were operated on for prostatism. It has been documented that this may be due to the vulnerability of the external sphincter to the electrothermal changes during transurethral resection of the prostate. In the case we studied, neuropathic changes were observed in the external sphincter; thus transvesical prostatectomy was performed instead, and no compromise of continence occurred. |
