Abstract:
The authors report a retrospective study of 212 resections for benign prostatic hypertrophy during 3 years (1998-2000), yielding a mean weight of 30 grams. The mortality rate was 0%. There was only one abundant bleeding case (0.4%). There were 5 cases of dysuria (2.3%) and 2 cases (0.9%) of incontinence. The experience of surgeons and the improvements in equipment appeared to be two essential factors of the primary results of endoscopic resection for benign prostatic hypertrophy at Viet Tiep hospital.
