Abstract
Transurethral resection of the bladder neck in the female is unpopular because of complications and indifferent results. This retrospective study of 238 procedures (carried out over the period 1940-72) documents the various complications and shows that the fears generally held are exaggerated. Most complications are of moderate incidence and can be easily and satisfactorily managed. The incontinence rate (4.7% in this study) can be further reduced by selection of cases after careful urodynamic evaluation and avoiding certain types of cases. It is related more to the type of patient than to the procedure itself.
