[Transvesical prostatic adenomectomy without a urethral catheter. Apropos of a continuous series of 200 cases].
200 transvesical prostatic adenomectomies were performed without urethral catheters between 1977 and 1984. Le Guillou's technique was employed. The catheter was removed after one week. 90% of the patients passed water immediately. The use of Le Guillou's technique was directly responsible for 1 death (iatrogenic mechanical anuria). 19 patients (9.5%) had to be trans urethrally catheterized of 2 to 8 days after the removal of the cystostomy tube. Long-term follow-up available in 148 of the patients showed 1 failure and 10 successfully treated complications. The advantages of Le Guillou's technique are: Reduced bleeding. Reduced postoperative infection. Virtual disappearance of urethral iatrogenic stenosis. Improved post-operative comfort. Simplification of post-operative nursing.
