[Incidence of a persisting prostatic duct following transvesical adenomectomy]

32 patients underwent an after-examination one to five years after transvesical adenomectomy. In 25 cases thare was a persisting lodge of the prostate. 6 patients with persisting lodge had urethrographically a narrowing in the region of the posterior urethra. There were no pathological values of the residual urine and pathological findings of the urine. In 7 cases a complete retrogression of the lodge to the size of the urethra could be proved radiologically. The healing after adenomectomy without retrogression of the lodge of the prostate is regarded as a normal variant of healing.
