From July 1998 to July 2001, 128 patients age ranged from 54-90 (67.2) with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BHP) were treated by transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in Urinary Department - Military Hospital 108. The indication for TURP was symptomatic prostatism (100%), urinary tract infection (10.9%), acute retention (4.6%) and renal insufficiency (2.3%). TURP is the technique of choice for small (<20g) - 14.1% and medium-size prostate (20-60g) - 85.9%. Retention, hemorrhage and urinary tract infection are the most frequent complications at and after operation. Mastering of technique and careful assessment of patient and of local status are two important factors contributing to reduction of the rate of the resectoscopy complications. The outcomes were: good and average: 91.5%, bad: 8.5%, no one die
