Excerpt

Lower urinary tract storage and voiding dysfunction are known to occur after radical hysterectomy [1]. Up to 50 % of patients who undergo radical hysterectomy experience at least one urinary tract symptom over a variable period of time [2]. This is probably due to a decrease in musculo-elastic properties of the bladder wall caused by surgical injury and partial damage to the autonomic innervation of the bladder [3]. Lower urinary tract rehabilitation may be offered to these patients including pelvic floor training, behavioral modification, electrical stimulation, and clean intermittent self-catheterization [4]. …
