Lignocaine test and detrusor instability. 1983

K Reuther, and J Aagaard, and K S Jensen

Detrusor instability in infravesical obstruction is well recognised and often resolves after surgery. The aetiology is not clearly understood but is probably due to increased vesical sensory input. Since intravesical lignocaine has been proved to have an effect (although shortlived) on detrusor instability in some patients, we have used it in order to differentiate between idiopathic detrusor instability and detrusor instability caused by infravesical obstruction. Our study showed that in patients with a positive lignocaine test pre-operatively, the detrusor instability and micturition disorder disappeared after operation, and in patients with a negative lignocaine test, it persisted. The differences were statistically significant (P less than 0.5).

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008012	Lidocaine	A local anesthetic and cardiac depressant used as an antiarrhythmia agent. Its actions are more intense and its effects more prolonged than those of PROCAINE but its duration of action is shorter than that of BUPIVACAINE or PRILOCAINE.

D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D009130	Muscle, Smooth	Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

D011468	Prostatectomy	Complete or partial surgical removal of the prostate. Three primary approaches are commonly employed: suprapubic - removal through an incision above the pubis and through the urinary bladder; retropubic - as for suprapubic but without entering the urinary bladder; and transurethral (TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION OF PROSTATE).

D011470	Prostatic Hyperplasia	Increase in constituent cells in the PROSTATE, leading to enlargement of the organ (hypertrophy) and adverse impact on the lower urinary tract function. This can be caused by increased rate of cell proliferation, reduced rate of cell death, or both.

D001743	Urinary Bladder	A musculomembranous sac along the URINARY TRACT. URINE flows from the KIDNEYS into the bladder via the ureters (URETER), and is held there until URINATION.

D001748	Urinary Bladder Neck Obstruction	Blocked urine flow through the bladder neck, the narrow internal urethral opening at the base of the URINARY BLADDER. Narrowing or strictures of the URETHRA can be congenital or acquired. It is often observed in males with enlarged PROSTATE glands.	Bladder Neck Obstruction,Bladder Outlet Obstruction
