Abstract:
The first suprapubic prostatectomy in Britain was performed in the General Infirmary at Leeds on 24 March 1887 by Arthur Fergusson McGill. During 1887 six other prostatectomies were performed by McGill and his colleagues. Before he died in 1890 McGill had performed complete enucleation of an adenomatous prostate.
