[Immediate complications of transurethral resection of the prostate: study of 1000 consecutive cases].
The authors reviewed the charts of 1000 patients who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate. When the 30-day postoperative period was studied, it was found that 139 patients suffered complications and 6 died. Infectious complications (urinary tract in 63 cases and septicemia in 23 cases) were the commonest followed by hemorrhage and urinary retention. The deaths were related to cardiac problems.
