  • Title: [A new method for transurethral prostatic commissurotomy].
    Author: Su ZX.
    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 1992 Dec; 30(12):758-60, 780-1. PubMed ID: 1285058.
    Abstract:
    Based on the principles of Shafik's prostatic commissurotomy, we have developed a new transurethral prostatic commissurotomy, which is characterized by cutting, layer by layer and section by section, the urethral mucosa, the bladder muscle layer and the prostate tissue within combined part of the urethra and prostate and by cutting the prostatic capsule with electrocoagulation. The comparison of clinical objective indexes has proved that the method is applicable to high risk patients with prostate hyperplasia and neck contracture leading to urethral obstruction after TURP.
