Preoperative prediction of results of prostatectomy by a symptom score and radionuclide uroflowmetry.
A review of preoperative and postoperative symptom scores and radionuclide uroflowmetry in patients undergoing prostatectomy for benign prostatic hyperplasia indicates that there may be certain findings that can help to predict postoperative results. A statistically significant difference was obtained comparing the postoperative results of the symptom score and radionuclide uroflowmetry with the results obtained preoperatively. The correlation between the preoperative ejection fraction and the postoperative total symptom score and irritative score showed a good correlation.
