Seventy two prostatic disease patients underwent transrectal ultrasonography on inpatient basis at the Department of Urology. Inje University, Paik Hospital. Pusan, between January 1990 to December 1991.
@ES The results were as follows:
@EN 1. The average values of maximum anteroposterior, superior-inferior and transverse diameter obtained from ultrasonograms were 3.53±1.01cm, 3.60±0.91cm, 4.28±0.95cm in B.P.H., 3.42±1.19cm, 3.55±0.50cm, 4.50±1.19cm in prostatic cancer.
2. In patients treated with transurethral resection of the prostate the mean estimated weight was 24.5gm, while the actual weight of resected mass was 8.27gm. In patients treated with open prostatectomy the mean estimated weight was 72.24gm,
while
the
mean actual weight of resected mass was 62.07gm.
3. In a comparision of sonography and X-ray for the detection of prostatic calculi the diagnostic accuracy of sonography (70.8%) was higher than X-ray (37.5%).
4. Diagnostic accuracy of transrectal ultrasonography was 90.9% in B.P.H. and 52.9% in prostatic cancer. In conclusion the transrectal ultrasonography was useful for diagnosis of prostatic disease, but the accuracy seemed to depend on experience
of
phyician.
