The term denotes any anatomical or functional failure of the bladder to empty itself due to obstruction at its outlet. The incidence of bladder outlet obstruction is different and varied in both age and gender and etiology. Hence this study was conducted to assess the incidence, etiology and management of bladder outlet obstruction in patients presenting to a tertiary hospital in Assam. This was a hospital based observational study. A sample size of 70 cases were studied during the period between 01st June 2021 to 31st May 2022 with presentation of bladder outlet obstruction. The subject’s incidence, etiological factors and clinical presentations and mangement of bladder outlet obstruction were recorded on data sheet and analyzed. Male gender was most commonly affected and maximum incidence of bladder outlet obstruction was observed in the age group of 61‐70 years. The most common cause for bladder outlet obstruction was benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), followed by urethral stricture. Most commonly used modality of treatment is transurthral resection of prostate, followed by medical management of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Bladder outlet obstruction is a common presentation in surgical emergency and out patient department. Evaluation and management of each case need to be through.
