[Radical versus conservative therapy in prostatic adenoma. Open adenomectomy].
Our technical procedure for surgical adenomectomy of prostate is the Hey-Delinotte one. Indications for this type of procedure are large adenomas with a volume, estimated by ultrasonography, more than 50 cc. and with significant obstruction and urinary retention. In our experience during the past 3 years, in patients without severe operating risk, it was utilized a little more frequently than transurethral resection. We hope that in the future the new procedures will be as useful and resolutive as traditional ones.
