This study assesses the morphological effectiveness of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) surgery using multislice spiral computed tomography three-dimensional imaging (CT3D) with urethral contrast. Twenty-five male patients with BPH and bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) who underwent bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate were selected. Preoperative and postoperative CT3D indicators of retrograde and voiding cystourethrography, including bladder neck diameter, length of the posterior urethra, and degree of prostate protrusion into the bladder and upper and lower diameter of the prostate were used to assess bladder neck and posterior urethra morphology and BOO severity. In addition, preoperative and postoperative International Prostate Symptom Scores and maximum urine flow rates were compared. Postoperative CT3D was used to evaluate changes following obstruction relief postsurgery. Preoperative CT3D indicated significant BOO, whereas postoperative imaging showed improved patency but with irregular posterior urethral lumens and varying degrees of residual glandular tissue. Comparative analysis of preoperative and postoperative bladder outlet metrics revealed significant changes ( < .05). Urethral contrast CT3D effectively visualizes the prostate, bladder neck, and prostatic urethra. It quantifies changes in the urethral lumen postsurgery, correlating the extent of posterior urethral lumen spaciousness with urinary flow rates.
本研究采用尿道对比多层螺旋 CT 三维成像(CT3D)评估良性前列腺增生(BPH)手术的形态学效果。选择 25 例因膀胱出口梗阻(BOO)而行双极经尿道前列腺切除术的 BPH 男性患者。使用逆行和排尿性膀胱尿道造影术的术前和术后 CT3D 指标,包括膀胱颈直径、后尿道长度、前列腺突入膀胱的程度以及前列腺上下径,评估膀胱颈和后尿道形态以及 BOO 严重程度。此外,比较了术前和术后的国际前列腺症状评分和最大尿流率。术后 CT3D 用于评估梗阻解除后的变化。术前 CT3D 显示明显的 BOO,而术后影像学显示通畅性改善,但后尿道管腔不规则,残留腺组织程度不同。术前和术后膀胱出口指标的比较分析显示出显著变化(<.05)。尿道对比 CT3D 可有效显示前列腺、膀胱颈和前列腺尿道。它可以量化术后尿道腔的变化,并将后尿道腔的宽敞程度与尿流率相关联。
