recurrent bladder neck contracture/scar tissue
by russ733, Oct 22, 2009 08:56AM
My question is are there other treatments??
My husband had a prosectomy in Oct. of 08. He has had ongoing problems with scar tissue in the uretha and urination issues. He has had 3 tur of his bladder neck since that time and still has issues. The last 2 days he has had to dialate everytime he needs to urinate. His doctor says the only alternative is to put in permanent catheter. Are there other procedures or things that can be done to help this situation. Is ultrasound or laser surgery a possiblity. Please help we are at our wits end................. what is out there??????
