In 1499 (96.8%) patients concomitant diseases were revealed: ischemic heart disease (934 patients), cardiosclerosis after 1-3 myocardial infarction (185), hemiparesis after acute cerebrovascular disturbances (74), diabetes mellitus (88), chronic lymphoid leukemia (5), cirrhosis of the liver (15), cancer (22) and true diverticula (15) of the urine bladder, drug-related polyallergy (16). 628 patients were radically operated in conditions of circulatory insufficiency of stage I-II. In 631 (40.7%) patients surgical intervention was carried out as urgent because of acute dysuria (hampering of urination) or to bleeding from tumor. Transvesical adenomectomy was carried out with hemostasis by 2 semipouch string removable sutures. In 89.5% of patients uncomplicated course of postoperative period was observed. Postoperative lethality in patients with concomitant diseases made up 3.2%. Causes of death were postinfarction cardiosclerosis (6.5%), after-effect of cerebrovascular stroke (5.4%), diabetes mellitus (5.7%), cirrhosis of the liver (6.7%). 6 months to 11 years after the operation 91.2% of the patients achieved good follow-up functional results of surgical treatment, in majority of the patients medical and social rehabilitation was observed.
