title: [Complications and limitations of transurethral prostatic resection: retrospective study of 366 patients].
abstract: In present paper we report our experience on 366 patients underwent to transurethral resection of prostate from January 1988 to January 1990. All patients were controlled by uroflowmetry and retrograde plus minctional urethrography, with evaluation of the possible immediate and latest complications. Among the latest complications, the most representative had been urethral stricture, occurred in 24 patients (6.5%) according with international literature. We considered also various iatrogenics factors (operator experience, endoscopic time, catheter section, catheter permanence time, use of lubricator, presence of catheter before TURp, preventive Otis urethrotomy). From our study rises out that the most important risk factors are: a) catheter permanence time; b) TURp without preventive Otis urethrotomy.
