[Diagnosis and treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in the North Bohemia Region in 1994].
The author investigated equipment, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in benign hyperplasia of the prostate in urological in-patient departments in the North Bohemian region in 1994. The assembled data from nine health institutions revealed relatively good equipment with instruments for the diagnosis of BHP. The diagnostic procedures were consistent with recommendations of WHO. For surgical treatment transurethral prostatectomy was used in 62.8%, open prostatectomy in 32.1% and transurethral incision of the prostate in 5.1%. As regards non-surgical treatment, in three departments thermotherapy was used and in one laser therapy.
