title: [Transureteral resection of the prostate. Review of 20 consecutive operations (5 yr)].
abstract: In the present study we reviewed our results in the treatment of prostatic obstruction of adenomatous origin over a period of 5 years and with a follow-up of 1 to 6 years. Of the 210 patients considered evaluable, good results were achieved in 84.28%, with mortality and morbidity rates of 0.45% and 22.82%, respectively. Infections were the most commonly observed complications in the early post-operative period. Urethral stenosis, the most common cause for reoperation, was observed in 9.04% in the late post-operative period.
