Abstract

Bladder neck contracture (BNC), one of the most challenging complications after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP), lacks effective treatment. In the present study, our experience in treating BNC using GreenLight laser vaporization with triamcinolone acetonide (TA) injections was shared. This is a retrospective cohort study that included 46 patients with BNC after TURP and PVP in our center. GreenLight laser surgeries (180 W) were carried out and TA was administrated simultaneously. TA injections were repeated every week for three times after surgeries. The perioperative and postoperative parameters were reviewed and compared. Bladder neck tissues were examined by immunohistochemical staining to explore the expressions of collagen I, matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) after treatments. The chief complaint symptoms of all patients were significantly relieved after our treatments. None of them showed BNC recurrence during the follow-up. Complications were rare and mild. Postoperative assessments including maximal urinary flow rate (P < 0.01), International Prostate Symptom Score (P < 0.01), quality of life index (P < 0.01), and post-void residual volume (P < 0.001) were significantly better than baseline values, respectively. Immunohistochemical staining showed significantly lower expressions of collagen I (P < 0.001), MMP-3 (P < 0.001), and TGF-β (P < 0.001) after treatments. In conclusion, 180-W GreenLight laser with repeated TA injections demonstrated the safety and long-term efficacy in treating BNC, by inhibiting the expressions of fibrotic factors. Our procedure was a promising treatment for BNC after PVP and TURP.
