title: [Cryosurgery in the treatment of prostatic hyperplasia].
abstract: Twenty five cases of prostatic hyperplasia were treated by blind and endoscopic cryoprostatectomy. 25 cases have been followed up for 3-12 months with a mean period of 9.2 months. The results of cryosurgery, in this series, turned out to be good in 15, effective in 8, and ineffective in 2 cases. The procedure is simple, safe and effective in the treatment of prostatic hyperplasia particularly for the high risk patients. The technique, indications, Immunity and complications of cryosurgery are discussed.
