Transurethral Prostatic Resection in the Treatment of Prostatism with High Urinary Flow

Abstract

There were 51 patients with prostatism who were selected for transurethral resection of the prostate using clinical nonurodynamic criteria. Urodynamic evaluation revealed that 13 patients had preoperative maximum urine flow rates > 15 ml/s. The favorable postoperative outcome in clinical and urodynamic terms in this group of patients with high preoperative urine flow is discussed.
