title: [Correlation between volumetric endosonography and prostate weight. Variation according to histological type].
abstract: Correlation between endosonographic volumetry and prostatic weight, accuracy according to histopathology. We report a study over 50 patients who underwent TURP, demonstrating statistical correlation between endosonographic volumetry and prostatic weight. We observe a difference in accuracy according to histopathology and we discuss the reliability of the technique. We conclude that variability is due to the sensitivity of the examination.
