196 @entity1 underwent radical abdominal hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy for cervical @entity5 of the clinical stages Ib to IIb, at the University Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Graz during 1977 to 1982. 51 @entity1 without recurring @entity5 and without subsequent radiotherapy were followed up for functional disturbances of the efferent urinary tract. The time interval between surgery and follow-up being 6 to 60 months. Follow-up examination consisted of palpation and, in addition, specific anamnesis based on a specially designed questionnaire, determination of residual urine, control of urine culture, and urodynamic measurement. Furthermore, urethro-cystoscopy and excretion urography were performed in all @entity1 . 21.6% of the @entity1 were completely free from complaints. In contrast, 78.4% of the @entity1 reported more or less pronounced signs and symptoms: first of all, delayed spontaneous micturition (78.4% of the cases), and, secondly, stress incontinence (58.8%) and a reduced desire to urinate (47.1%). Enhanced amounts of residual urine were measured in 35.3% of the @entity1 , whereas significant @entity793 occurred in 31.4% of the @entity1 . Urodynamic measurement resulted in normal intravesical pressure values in 23 @entity1 (45.1%). On the other hand, @entity2421 intravesical pressure was seen in 20 @entity1 (39.2%) and hypertonic pressure in 8 @entity1 (15.7%). In all @entity1 micturition was disturbed both in respect of urine flow and micturition time. 41 (80.4%) urethro-cystoscopic findings and 41 intravenous pyelography were in the normal range. The complaints reported by the @entity1 were mostly not of special significance for them, since 34 @entity1 (66.6%) were greatly satisfied with their condition. The results are described in detail and are discussed.
