Incision of the bladder neck

: Transurethral incision of the bladder neck (TUIBN) is a simple method of relieving bladder outflow obstruction producing similar results to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) when obstruction is caused by small prostate (< 40 gr). The complication rate is low and retrograde ejaculation has a far less degree than after TURP, so less bleeding. The major advantage of TUIBN are: short hospitalization, less bladder neck contractures. The drawback of the absence of prostate tissue for an earlier diagnosis of cancer can be balanced performing a biopsy before treatment.
