title: Transurethral prostatic resections under local anesthesia.
abstract: Standard transurethral prostatic resections were done on 18 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Local anesthesia was used with standard 1 per cent lidocaine local infiltration of the prostate and topical instillation into the urethra. This anesthesia was supplemented in a few instances by modest doses of intravenous tranquilizers, which has proved to be a safe, simple and effective procedure.
