The influence of simultaneous resection of bladder tumors and prostate on the occurrence of prostatic urethral tumors.
The records of 137 patients who underwent simultaneous transurethral resection of bladder tumors and the prostate were compared to those of 150 patients who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumors only. The data presented provide no evidence that simultaneous resection of bladder tumors with the prostate affects adversely the incidence of tumor occurrences in the prostatic urethra.
