What is Bladder Neck Incision (BNI)?
Bladder neck incision (BNI), also known as bladder neck surgery or transurethral incision of the bladder neck (TUIBN), is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat bladder neck obstruction and other related urinary issues. The surgery involves making small incisions at the bladder neck to relieve obstruction and improve urine flow.
Types of Bladder Neck Incision Techniques:
- Transurethral Incision (TUI): A minimally invasive approach involving a small incision at the bladder neck to enhance urine flow.
- Laser-assisted Bladder Neck Incision: Utilizes laser technology for precise incision and reduced bleeding.
- Endoscopic Bladder Neck Incision: Uses endoscopic visualization to guide the incision with minimal impact on surrounding tissue.

Bladder Neck Incision (BNI): Pre-Op & Post-Op Care
Preparation for BNI Surgery
Before the procedure, a comprehensive evaluation is conducted, including medical history review, physical examination, and necessary imaging studies such as ultrasound or cystoscopy.
During the Procedure
The procedure typically involves a transurethral approach, with an incision made at the bladder neck to alleviate obstruction. Local or general anesthesia may be used, and the incision is closed using advanced surgical techniques.
BNI Surgery Duration
Bladder neck incision surgery generally takes between 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the complexity of the case.
Recovery after Bladder Neck Incision (BNI)
After the procedure, patients are monitored in the recovery area until they stabilize and can be discharged. Instructions on activity limitations and other post-operative care are provided to ensure proper healing.
Post-Procedure Care
Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing, address any complications such as infection or bleeding, and evaluate the effectiveness of the procedure. Further treatment or additional therapies may be discussed as needed.
