The sentences
Finally, the presence of histological inflammation was not found to be associated with the occurrence of long term complications (urethral stricture, bladder neck contracture or recurrent adenoma) even after taking into account variation in the sizes of gland resected; rather, on multivariate analysis, presence of prostatic inflammation showed a trend towards a protective effect on incidence of bladder neck contracture (though not statistically significant).
This protective effect of the addition of BNI did not reach statistical significance in our study probably because this study was neither designed nor powered to answer this question.
