Abstract

ABSTRACT:
This study compares the results of 104 consecutive transurethral and 61 consecutive open
prostatectomies, performed in a General Surgical Unit in a District Hospital. The indication for
surgery was acute retention in 65% of cases and prostatism in 35%. The mean post-operative stay
was six and a half days for T.U.R. and fourteen and a half days for open prostatectomies.
