    Notes: Abstract A serial urodynamic study was performed in 491 patients with uterine cancer following radical hysterectomy (RH) involving postoperative pelvic radiation (RH+RT) and extended hysterectomy (EH) for 10 years after these respective treatments. The following evidence is presented: (1) increased volume of residual urine and sensory impairment occurred 1–2 months after radical hysterectomy with or without radiation, but was rarely seen in the EH group: (2) increased residual urine volume in the RH group gradually subsided 1–3 years after the treatment, while the RH+RT treatment resulted in a slight reduction: (3) late maximum cytometric capacity in the EH and RH groups remained stable throughout the study, but the RH+RT group showed a lower capacity (P〈0.05) than the EH group, except in one set of determinations. (4) a high incidence of low bladder compliance in the RH group at 1–2 months decreased thereafter, whereas in the RH+RT group bladder compliance remained poor (23%) up to 7–10 years after treatment. In the EH group low bladder compliance was rarely seen: (5) sensory impairment, urinary incontinence and difficulty on urination remained unimproved in many patients in the RH+RT group, while the incidence of subsequent urological operations in the EH group was lower (P〈0.05) than in the RH+RT group. Based on these findings, EH appears to be more beneficial for the retention of normal bladder function and radical hysterectomy with postoperative radiation results in deterioration of bladder activity.
