Detrusor Hyperreflexia in Benign Infravesical Obstruction. A Cystometric Study

Cystometry was performed on 94 consecutive patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy or bladder neck obstruction, 45 per cent of whom had detrusor hyperreflexia. Of those cases with detrusor hyperreflexia 21 patients were re-examined 6 months postoperatively and 62 per cent of them had regained normal bladder function. The underlying pathophysiologyand the clinical aspects are discussed.
