[Urodynamic follow-up investigation after radical abdominal hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy for invasive carcinoma of the uterine cervix (author's transl)].

80 patients without recurrence of carcinoma of the cervix were investigated. The patients had radical abdominal hysterectomies and lymphadenectomies according to Makkenrodt-Latzko-Meigs in the years 1970-1977 at the first university department of gynecology and obstetrics in Munich. The investigation was carried out in the urodynamic testing unit which is described. 47.5% of the patients were free of symptoms. 21% of the women had stress incontinence. 19% of the patients had neurogenic bladder symptoms. 44 of the 80 patients had post-operative radiotherapy. There was no significant difference in the urinary symptoms and signs of the group with and the group without post-operative radiotherapy. The symptoms of the patients from a standardized questionaire did not coincide with the urodynamic study results.
