title: [Transurethral resection of the prostate for urinary retention after seed implantation for prostate cancer: report of 2 cases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the effect of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in the treatment of urinary retention following seed implantation for prostate cancer.
  
  
  METHODS
  We treated 2 cases of urinary retention following seed implantation for prostate cancer by TURP, and analyzed their clinical data.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The operations were successful in both of the cases, with mean operation time of 60 min. Postoperative nocturnal urination of the patients averaged 2 times per night as compared with 5 - 6 times per night preoperatively, and their scores on IPSS and quality of life were significantly improved after surgery.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  TURP affords satisfactory results in the treatment of urinary retention following seed implantation for prostate cancer patients.
