title: [Experience with video transurethral resection].
abstract: During 14 months more than 300 endoscopic interventions were performed by video-control only: 160 TUR of prostate, 37 TUR of bladder-tumours, 7 ureteroscopies, 17 manipulations with bladder stones and stents, 9 sight-urethrotomies, 72 diagnostic cystoscopies, 2 percutaneous nephrolithotripsies and 12 laparoscopic interventions. Technical requirement is a light and rotatable camera, preferably a monitor mounted over the patient and a self-adjusting light-source. The advantages are better identification of tissue, the use where there is limited mobility of the patient's hip joint and the possibility of demonstration and documentation. The urologist's face is protected against blood contact (HIV-prophylaxis), and he is taking care of his spine. It is the best way of instruction for the learning urologist and even a good training for laparoscopic surgery.
