Thirty-seven patients with prostatism and an estimated prostatic weight of less than or equal to 20 g were randomly allocated to transurethral incision or resection of the prostate. Both procedures had an 85% success rate as judged by patients' personal evaluation. At 3 and 12 months follow-up a significant and identical improvement was noted in symptom score and uroflowmetry in the two groups. Postoperative catheterization time and hospital stay was only half as long in the incision group as in the resection group. No patients became impotent as a consequence of the procedures. Frequency of retrograde ejaculation was 28% in the incision group versus 100% in resected patients. Incision of the prostate is easy to perform and seems to be followed by less severe complications. It has a high patient acceptability and may cut the cost of transurethral surgery.

D011467 Prostate A gland in males that surrounds the neck of the URINARY BLADDER and the URETHRA. It secretes a substance that liquefies coagulated semen. It is situated in the pelvic cavity behind the lower part of the PUBIC SYMPHYSIS, above the deep layer of the triangular ligament, and rests upon the RECTUM. Prostates
D011468 Prostatectomy Complete or partial surgical removal of the prostate. Three primary approaches are commonly employed: suprapubic - removal through an incision above the pubis and through the urinary bladder; retropubic - as for suprapubic but without entering the urinary bladder; and transurethral (TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION OF PROSTATE).

D011470 Prostatic Hyperplasia Increase in constituent cells in the PROSTATE, leading to enlargement of the organ (hypertrophy) and adverse impact on the lower urinary tract function.
