[Total transurethral electroresection of carcinoma of the prostate]

Transurethral resection of the prostatic carcinoma was performed here most completely at a time already when radical surgical prostatectomy was not a rather new procedure. The preliminary evaluation of 150 cases of all stages (T1-4) showed a 5 year survival rate of almost 80% with post-operative complications comparable to transurethral prostatectomy of the adenoma.
