Abstract

Introduction. Current methods of interstitial cystitis / bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) treatment don’t allow to achieve long-term clinical remission.

Aim of the study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of bladder neck transurethral incision (TUI) in women with IC/BPS, who had bladder outlet obstruction signs.

Materials and methods. TUI was performed to patients with IC/BPS and proven bladder neck stenosis (n = 29). Assessment of the results of this operation was provided after 1, 3 and 6 months after surgical treatment. Treatment efficacy was evaluated by using Global Response Assessment (GRA) Scale, Pelvic Pain and Urgency / Frequency (PUF) Patient Symptom Scale, urination diaries, analysis of which allowed to determine functional bladder capacity, urinary frequency and nocturia. Pain assessment was made with 10-point Visual Analogue Pain Scale (VAS). Functional efficacy was evaluated with urodynamic examination, which included cystometric bladder capacity, maximal urinary flow rate and residual volume rate. Treatment results were compared with such in 39 patients with IC/BPS without signs of bladder neck stenosis.

Results. GRA score ≥2 had 96.5% and 72.4% in 1 and 3 months after bladder neck TUI, respectively. VAS, PUF Scale parameters, cystometric bladder capacity, maximal urinary flow rate, residual volume rate, urinary frequency and nocturia values also significantly improved after surgery.

Conclusions. This prospective clinical study is the first, in which IC/BPS course in women with bladder neck stenosis was investigated. It was noticed, that in 1 month after bladder TUI in 96.5% of patients decreased severity of IC/BPS symptoms, there were no urinary tract infection and local complications. In addition, this effect lasted for 3 months after surgery in 72.4% of patients and for 6 months in 68.9% of patients.
