title: [Prostatic abscess--new diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines].
abstract: Five prostatic abscesses treated in our Unit over the last three years (1988, 89, 90) are presented. Both the mode of presentation and symptoms as well as the course of treatment followed (three percutaneous drainage through the perineum, lead by ultrasound scanning, one endoscopic abscess incision with Collins' knife and one resolved with antibiotics subsequently needing TUR of the prostatic adenoma) are reviewed. The change of attitude in the treatment of prostatic abscesses (Ultrasound-lead percutaneous drainage) and the major usefulness of ultrasound scanning for diagnosis, treatment and subsequent follow-up are emphasized.
