Abstract
|
|
|
A clinical study was made on the 28 cases underwent prostatectomy during the 5 year-period from 1964 to 1968.
The results are summarized as follows:
1. The patient underwent prostatectomy
revealed increasing tendency in incidence, residual urine in average and being usually in the age range between 60 and 70 years.
2. The degree of prostatic enlargement was mostly grade 11 on rectal palpation and the removed prostate was 49. 3gm. in average weight.
3. Blood loss attributable to the operative manipulation was 1143 cc. in average. The patients underwent prostatectomy were discharged on the average 21.3 days postoperatively in which postoperative indwelling catheter was left in place for 15.3 days in average.
4. Postoperatively the convalescence was uneventful and the residual urine was disappeared or decreased markedly.
5. In the patients underwent prostatectomy via retropubic approach operative blood loss was mild and postoperative duration of indwelling catheterization was short as compared to that via the suprapubic approach.
6. No serious complication other than epididymitis developed in a few patients was observed postoperatively.
7. Suprapubic prostatectomy was found to be suitable for the patient with marked prostatic enlargement while the retropubic one yielded less tissue damage and somewhat rapid postoperative convalescence as compared to the former.
