[Surgical treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy and Kelami syndrome].
The authors analyze a group of 116 consecutive patients treated with transvesical prostatic adenomectomy or transurethral prostatic resection for benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) isolated five of them with a Kelami syndrome. These patients, aged between 53 and 70 years old, had a relevant ventral penile deflection with severe sexual impairment postoperatively. Among them only one asked for a corrective surgical procedure. Aetiology, preventive measures and therapeutic choices are discussed. Authors pointed out that this syndrome is actually underestimated considering the high number of transurethral or open surgery procedures for BPH.
