[Surgical treatment of benign hypertrophy of the prostate].
It has been calculated that 7% of the males living in France over the age of 65% will undergo a surgical procedure for benign prostatic hyperplasia within 5 years. Currently approximately 65000 patients are operated every year. The mean age of the patients is 71.8 years with an incidence much lower than that observed in the United states where the mean age is 66 years. According to the reports of the 87th congress of urology, 10 to 20% of the patients are operated because of urine retention.
