The comparison of clinical success by Allium round posterior stent (RPS) indwelling time and etiology of bladder neck contracture
| n = 42 | Success (n = 27, 64.3%) | Nonsuccess (n = 15, 35.7%) | P |
|---|---|---|---|
| Allium RPS indwelling time (months), n | 0.040a | ||
| Shorter period (≤7 months), n = 19 | 9 (47.4%) | 10 (52.6%) | |
| Longer period (>7 months), n = 23 | 18 (78.3%) | 5 (21.7%) | |
| Etiology, n | 0.118 | ||
| Transurethral resection of the prostate, n = 18 | 14 (77.8%) | 4 (22.2%) | |
| Open retropubic radical prostatectomy, n = 24 | 13 (54.2%) | 11 (45.8%) | |
a
Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of independent samples. A P level <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
