Mean duration of post operative indwelling catheter was 2.3 days (1-8). Subjectively, 36 (85.7%) of the patients were cured and 6 (14.2%) significantly improved. Complication were immediate postoperative urinary retention in 7 patients (16.6%), bladder perforation in 4 patients (9.5%). Mean volume of post voiding residual urine was pre operation: 50.3 ml (0-107) and post operation: 61.5 ml (0-417) (p = 0.386).
