title: Tumor recurrence in prostatic urethra following simultaneous resection of bladder tumor and prostate.
abstract: A comparative retrospective study was performed on 100 patients who had undergone transurethral resection of a superficial bladder tumor (Ta-Tl) with no associated carcinoma in situ (group 1) and 100 patients who had undergone simultaneous transurethral resection of a superficial bladder tumor (Ta-Tl), with no associated carcinoma in situ, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (group II). Evaluation of the recurrences of prostatic urethral tumors in both groups showed that they appeared in 10 patients (12 recurrences) in group I and 10 patients (14 recurrences) in group II (p = not significant). These data enabled us to rule out the influence of simultaneous transurethral resection in cases of recurrences of prostatic urethral tumors.
