[Transurethral resection in patients with cardiac pacemakers (author's transl)].
Problems of transurethral resection in patients with cardiac pacemakers are discussed. Various complications caused by interference of cutting and coagulating currents with the pacemaker system and their possible prevention are pointed out. It is concluded that transurethral resection by cold punch technique has significant advantages over electroresection in patients with a cardiac pacemaker.
