Abstract

Purpose: We evaluated the urethrocystoscopic findings and results of urodynamic studies in elderly men with voiding complaints. Materials and Methods: A total of 492 consecutive patients with voiding complaints underwent a standardized screening program, including transrectal ultrasonography of the prostate, urodynamic investigations with pressure- flow study analysis and flexible urethrocystoscopy. Results: A significant correlation was found between bladder trabeculation and grade of bladder outlet obstruction. Detrusor instability correlated significantly with grade of trabeculation. Grade of obstruction showed a clear correlation with prostatic occlusion of the urethra and the presence of a middle lobe at cystoscopy. Conclusions: The findings at urethrocystoscopy correlate well with those of urodynamic investigations.
