[CLASSICAL RADICAL EXTRAURETHRAL METHOD OF ADENOMECTOMY--BEYOND 30 YEARS].

Introduction of transvesical extraurethral adenomectomy into clinical practice was preceded by the clinical and morphological study of the prostate, prostatic urethra, bladder, upper urinary tract and renal function. It was found that at any volume of adenomatous (hyperplastic) tissue in the prostate, front semicircle around the prostatic urethra remains intact, and changes occur only in the proximal part of its back semicircle. Front semicircle adherent to the anterior commissure of the prostate has no adenomatous tissue.

[Retropubic urethro- and vessel-preserving extraurethral adenomectomy].

The article presents the results of an advanced method for retropubic removal of adenomatous prostate tissue. Retropubic extraurethral adenomectomy (REUA) was performed in 29 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Distinctive features of REUA from Lidsky-Millin surgery consist in the fact that the new method of prostatectomy preserve dorsal and urethral vascular plexus and the integrity of the prostatic urethra.

[High-technology extraurethral adenomectomy].

The article presents a method of organ-sparing radical transvesical extraurethral adenomectomy in which adenomatous prostate tissue are removed as individual fragments from semi-oval or wedge-shaped incision of the bladder neck and initial part of the prostatic urethra. Preservation ofprostatic urethra and its vascular plexus provides minimal intraoperative blood loss and less traumatic treatment. Correction of vesico-urethral segment is carried out with full preservation ofthe closing apparatus of the bladder.

[On the question of the so-called gold standard of surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia].

The article presents the comparative analysis of results of surgical methods used for the treatment of patients with BPH. The standardization of surgical TURP interventions as the "gold standard" in comparison with transvesical extraurethral adenomectomy is estimated. After TURP, according to the data from domestic and foreign authors, taking into account own author's data, complications develop in 28.
