Study of Urinary Bladder Outlet Obstruction Using Ultrasound

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the capability of ultrasound to identify the urinary bladder out let obstruction (Boo) in Umdurman Military Hospital during period from May 2011 to December 2011. The sample of this study consisted of patients with age range from 60-80 years The result of this study showed that forty four patients 88% out of fifty patient had an enlarged prostatic gland, and two patients had calculi 4% and two patients 4% had bladder cancer, one patient 2% had divertular, one patient 2%, had uretheral obstruction. The study shows that bladder out let obstruction (Boo) in men is mostly caused by benign prostatic hyperoplieza. Bladder out let obstruction induces significant alterations in the urinary bladder wall especially in advance cases and also impaired ability of the urinary bladder to store and empty urine. According to these results there was a clear proportional relation between the enlargement prostatic glad and the age of the patent. The residual urine depends on the type of the cause of the obstruction.
