Types of sphincterotomy

There are two main types of sphincterotomies: 

  • Internal sphincterotomy: This involves cutting the internal sphincter of the bladder, the involuntary muscle that holds urine in the bladder. This procedure is usually performed on patients who have stress incontinence, an involuntary leakage of urine during physical exertion, laughing, coughing, or sneezing.
  • External sphincterotomy: Less common than internal sphincterotomy, external sphincterotomy targets the external sphincter of the bladder, the voluntary muscle that controls urination. It is often performed on patients with urge incontinence, a sudden and urgent need to urinate that is difficult to control.

Who should have a sphincterotomy?

Sphincterotomy is a surgical procedure for patients with severe urinary incontinence. It is indicated for patients who have not responded to other treatments such as medication, exercises to strengthen the muscles that support the bladder and urethra, lifestyle changes, etc.

Specifically, sphincterotomy is considered for patients who:

  • Are unable or unwilling to use a catheter to empty their bladder.
  • Suffer from stress or urge urinary incontinence.
  • Are in good general health: Sphincterotomy is not recommended for patients with advanced health problems that could increase the risk of complications.

Sphincterotomy: Hospitalization & recovery

In general, the sphincterotomy procedure takes 30 minutes to 1 hour. The duration may vary depending on the patient's health and the complexity of the procedure.

The hospital stay for a sphincterotomy procedure in Turkey often varies from 1 to 3 days. It should be noted that this is an estimate and the actual duration may vary depending on the patient's health condition.

Recovery time after sphincterotomy often varies between 1 and 2 weeks for most patients. In some cases, complete healing may take up to 4 weeks.

Sphincterotomy process in Turkey

Sphincterotomy is a surgical procedure in which the urinary sphincter is cut or enlarged to treat severe urinary incontinence. 

Pre-intervention

Meeting with the urologist and discussing your medical history and health. Preoperative tests are also necessary.  

During surgery

A sphincterotomy is usually performed under general or local anesthesia. The surgeon inserts an endoscope, a thin tube with a light and mini-camera, into the urethra. The surgeon then uses a special instrument to cut or enlarge the sphincter. 

Postoperative period

During the post-operative period, you will be taken to the recovery room while you recover from the anesthesia. Nurses will monitor your condition. 

Risks and complications 

Any surgical procedure such as a sphincterotomy can have certain risks and complications, including:

  • Bleeding.
  • Infection.
  • Urinary incontinence.
  • Urinary tract infection.
  • Sexual dysfunction.
