title: Endoscopy-assisted Freyer prostatectomy: a safer technique.
abstract: Freyer prostatectomy is infrequently indicated today. One of the blind steps in this procedure is when the urethra is disconnected at the prostatic apex. There is risk of stress urinary incontinence and damage to the sphincter. We describe a safe and a simple endoscopic technique to overcome this difficulty.
