[Open adenomectomy: review of 223 cases].
A retrospective study was undertaken to determine the results achieved in 223 patients with prostatic hypertrophy who underwent open surgery during a period spanning 5 years. Good results were achieved in 88.34% of the cases, the mortality rate was 0.44%, and the post-operative morbidity rate was 31.3%. Urinary infection was the most common complication during this period (21.01%). Late post-operatively, we observed the following low incidence of urethral stenosis and lodge sclerosis, 1.79% and 2.24%, respectively. Six patients (2.69%) were permanently incontinent and one required surgery for recurrent obstruction of prostatic origin.
