Bladder Neck Incision Surgery

Bladder Neck incision is a surgical technique performed primarily in men to treat urinary problems caused by a bladder neck obstruction (BNO). The bladder neck is a junction between the urinary bladder and the urethra. In most cases, this obstruction is caused by an enlarged prostate, but there can be other reasons also. A bladder neck incision will provide a better urine flow and relieve uncomfortable urinary symptoms.

A 'bladder neck stenosis' is scarring at the neck of the bladder where it connects to the prostate, while a 'urethral stricture' is scarring within the urethra itself. Both forms of scarring cause a narrowing of the urethra, much like a rubber band around a ponytail.
