    Abstract:
    The paper presents the analysis of 255 patients aged 39-89 yrs who sustained transurethral resection of prostatic adenoma between 1985 and 1988. The choice of the surgery technique depended on the direction of adenoma growth the weight of its tissue and the presence of associated diseases of the lower urinary tract. At present, the allowable weight of the removed tumor is increased from 30 to 60 g while the mean operation time is decreased from 50 +/- 10 to 35 +/- 5 minutes. The authors arrived at the conclusion that the aforementioned technique was of high performance and low-rate traumatism, thus widening the limits of the disease surgical treatment, decreasing the incidence of early (13.7 per cent) and late (2.7 per cent) complications and death rates (1.9 per cent). Besides, the duration of postsurgical hospital stay decreased (5 +/- 1.5 days in noncomplicated cases and 12 +/- 3 days in complicated ones).
