Hydrodistension with or without fulguration of hunner lesions for interstitial cystitis: Long‐term outcomes and prognostic predictors

Hydrodistension of the bladder, with optional fulguration of Hunner lesions, is one of the recommended therapies for interstitial cystitis (IC). The aims of this study are to evaluate long‐term outcomes of hydrodistension and identify outcome predictors.
