title: [The risk of transurethral operations in childhood].
abstract: From 1976 to 1981 111 transurethral operations were performed in 93 children; 39 bladder neck incisions or resections, 43 urethrotomies, 6 resections of urethral valves, 13 transversal incisions of ureteroceles, 7 transurethral biopsies in suspected bladder tumors and 3 resections of the neck of a bladder diverticulum were done. Complications were seen especially in the myelodysplasia-group. Multi-resistant bacteriuria was found in many children even before therapy. Hospital-induced fungal infections were seen twice. Malfunctioning of the hydrocephalus drainage-system developed once after transurethral resection and had a fatal outcome. Indication and complications of seldom done transurethral operations in childhood are discussed.
