[Secondary transurethral surgery of the bladder neck]

In the period from 1970 to 1978 24 patients after transvesical adenomectomy and 76 patients after TUR of the prostate gland underwent a secondary transurethral surgical intervention. Causes were residual adenomas, stenoses of the vesical neck and recidivations of the adenoma. Explanations are given for the differences in the course of the temporary coordination to the primary intervention. The preoperative situation concerning infections, problems of the operation technique and in the case of the TUR the qualification of the resectionists are mentioned. After the TUR as primary intervention clearly less carcinomas were proved in the electro-resectate in comparison to the transvesical adenomectomy.
