The study aims to evaluate how the site of incision in transurethral sphincterotomy affects postoperative complications such as impotence and hemorrhage.
Review of 33 cases of transurethral sphincterotomy
Comparison of complications between 3 and 9 o'clock versus 1 and 11 o'clock incision sites
Analysis of incidence of postoperative impotence and delayed hemorrhage
Increased incidence of postoperative impotence and delayed hemorrhage for incisions at 3 and 9 o'clock positions.
Lower rates of complications observed for 1 and 11 o'clock incisions.
Recommendation to use 1 and 11 o'clock positions routinely to minimize risks.
