TRANSURETHRAL PROSTATECTOMY FOR CANCER
Consecutive 1, 572 transurethral and 285 open subcapsular prostatectomies were studied. Cancer tissue was found in 65 out of 1, 750 prostatectomies (3.7%) for presumed benign hypertrophy. The ratio markedly increased with their age. Patients with cancer who received transurethral resection had no di...

Summary: | Consecutive 1, 572 transurethral and 285 open subcapsular prostatectomies were studied. Cancer tissue was found in 65 out of 1, 750 prostatectomies (3.7%) for presumed benign hypertrophy. The ratio markedly increased with their age. Patients with cancer who received transurethral resection had no difference in the time needed, the amount of bleeding and transfusion, and the duration of catheter-drainage in comparison with cases without cancer. The only difference between them was the delay in discharge, which was caused by additional treatment for cancer. |
