Abstract

OBJECTIVE To determine the adulthood outcomes of bladder, kidney, and sexual functions of posterior urethral valve (PUV) patients. MATERIALS and METHODS The records of patients who were treated for PUV between 1980, and 2001 and aged >= 18 years by the end of 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with complete adulthood data were included in the study. Renal, bladder, and sexual functions were assessed. Adulthood uroflowmetry results of 22 patients were also evaluated. RESULTS Thirty-nine patients with complete adulthood data out of 89 were included. The median followup time was 22.7 years (15-33 years). Median age at initial surgery for PUV was 36 months (1-168 months), and median age at last follow-up was 26 years (18-46 years). Lower urinary tract dysfunction was noted in 15 (38%) patients. In 22 patients (56%) with uroflowmetric analyses, median values of Q(max), voided volume, and post voiding residual urine volume were 20.5 mL/sec (7-43 mL/sec), 389 mL (154-1750 mL), and 18.5 mL (range 0-190 mL), respectively. Nineteen patients (48.7%) had normal glomerular filtration rate, 2 patients (5.1%) had chronic kidney disease, and the remaining 18 patients (46.1%) had end stage renal disease, 14 (35.9%) of whom underwent renal transplantation. Thirty-two patients (82%) had sexual function evaluation, none of which reported erectile dysfunction. However, 4 patients (12.5%) reported slow ejaculation. Five patients fathered a child whereas infertility was observed in 2 patients. CONCLUSION After 2 decades, glomerular filtration rate was normal almost in half of the PUV patients while lower urinary tract dysfunction was detected in 38%. Furthermore, erectile dysfunction was rare.
