Abstract
Bladder neck contracture is an infrequent but challenging occurrence following prostate surgery. While uncomplicated cases can be managed with favorable outcomes, identifying an appropriate intervention for advanced instances can prove elusive. As a result, options available to the urologist for treating this disease range from minimally invasive outpatient procedures to major open surgery. Here, the numerous therapeutic modalities for treating bladder neck contracture are reviewed.
