title: [Endourological treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy. Preliminary report].
abstract: We report on two patients with symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) who were submitted to balloon dilation of the prostate. The symptoms and signs of prostatism markedly improved in both patients; however, the observed improvement did not correlate with the transrectal ultrasound findings of the results of the urinary flow studies. This is a preliminary report of an ongoing prospective protocol.
