Abstract

Introduction and hypothesis

To compare long-term lower urinary tract dysfunction after radical hysterectomy in patients with or without early postoperative voiding dysfunction.

Methods

Thirty patients at least 2 years after radical hysterectomy were evaluated with multichannel urodynamic studies. Fifteen patients (group A) had early postoperative voiding dysfunction (required urethral catheterization more than 1 month), and 15 patients (group B) had no early postoperative voiding dysfunction.

Results

Overall voiding dysfunction was more prevalent in group A than group B (73.3% versus 33.3%, p > 0.05). In particular, high postvoid residual urine and abdominal straining increased significantly in group A (40% versus 0% and 60% versus 13.3%, respectively). Total and all domains scores from Urogenital Distress Inventory and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire were not different between both groups.

Conclusion

High postvoid residual urine and abdominal straining increased significantly in patients with early postoperative voiding dysfunction without impairment on quality of life.
