[Urethral and prostatic urologic endoscopic surgery in day hospital]

We evaluated urethral and prostatic urological endoscopical surgery in Day Hospital, following rules proposed by Veneto Region in 1996. We made surgical treatments for urethral strictures, BPH obstruction, and sclerosis of the bladder neck in 44 patients (age: 67-84). Laser therapy and classical surgical techniques were used. Our results were good: complete resolution of obstruction, lack of bleeding, early catheter removal, and acceptable costs.
