Periprostatic abscess. Unusual complication of transurethral prostatectomy.
Many large series analyzing the results and complications of transurethral prostatectomy have failed to mention the occurrence of periprostatic abscess. A case is described which followed perforation of the posterior capsule at the time of transurethral prostatic resection. This complication was successfully managed by transperineal needle aspiration and high-dosage antibiotic therapy.
