    Summary

    This study revisits the historical Freyer adenomectomy technique for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. Applying the original method with a catheter for hemostasis yielded good results in 32 patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical History

    Context:

    • Adenomectomy, a surgical procedure for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), has a history spanning over a millennium.
    • Key historical developments include Sir Peter Freyer's 1901 publication and E. Fuller's earlier implementation, both focusing on radical treatment via bladder exposure and total gland enucleation.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of Freyer's original adenomectomy technique for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
    • To assess the outcomes of using an indwelling catheter for hemostasis in Freyer's method.

    Summary:

    • Thirty-two adenomectomy procedures were performed between 1998-1999 at the Department of Urology, University Hospital "Alexandrovska", adhering to Freyer's original surgical approach.
    • Hemostasis was achieved using an indwelling catheter with an inflated balloon in the prostate bed, eliminating the need for packing or sutures.
    • The overall results of the adenotomies performed using this modified Freyer technique were evaluated as good.

    Impact:

    • Demonstrates the continued clinical applicability of a historical surgical technique for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
    • Highlights the effectiveness of a simplified hemostasis method in adenomectomy, potentially reducing operative complexity and improving patient outcomes.
