[Complications after suprapubic prostatectomy (author's transl)].
From 1962 to 1980 a number of 856 suprapubic transvesical prostatectomies were performed at the Urological University Hospital, Vienna. An analysis of the patients showed a postoperative mortality rate of 2.21% and decisive differences between the first (4.37%) and second (0.74%) decade. Death was primarily caused by pulmonary embolism. In about 9% of the cases a reduced renal function was determined, which, however, did not affect the rate of complications. In more than 9% of the patients early postoperative complication was most frequently determined by the incidence of epididymitis.
