[Transurethral prostatic adenomectomy].
On the ground of the clinical experience of transurethral resection of the benign hypertrophy of the prostate performed in the Division of Urology during the last ten years, the technical aspects and problems of the procedure are discussed, chiefly the low-pressure irrigation of the operative field for the prevention of vesical damages and of the water-syndrome. The choice of the transurethral technique is dependent chiefly on the weight of the adenoma, on the duration of its removal and the related problems; it is also dependent on the availability of both proper instrumentation and operators. The lesser all-over surgical traumatism and blood loss, the precocious getting out of bed, the shortening of hospitalisation make T.U.R. particularly suitable for high risk patients. To conclude with, the clinical, personal and social advantages of this procedure depend on the correctness of its choice following the criteria which have been referred to.
