Increase in detrusor wall thickness indicates bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in men

Detrusor wall thickness decreases continuously while the bladder fills to 50% of its capacity and then remains constant until 100%. Therefore, detrusor wall measurements were performed in patients when the bladder was filled to maximum capacity only. Mean detrusor wall thickness for unobstructed (n...

Zusammenfassung:	Detrusor wall thickness decreases continuously while the bladder fills to 50% of its capacity and then remains constant until 100%. Therefore, detrusor wall measurements were performed in patients when the bladder was filled to maximum capacity only. Mean detrusor wall thickness for unobstructed (n = 14), equivocal (n=23) and obstructed patients (n=33) were 1.33, 1.62 and 2.4 mm, respectively (P
