[Transurethral resection in prostate cancer, a radical procedure. Experience with 1017 cases].

Objectives: From the beginning of TUR in 1931 the reseccionists thought of resecting prostate cancer. Execution however failed for deficient instruments and techniques. The first transurethral resection for prostate cancer: TURPC--was performed at our institution in 1957 by Hans J.

[Development and usage of a new laser resectoscope].

Background: Endoscopes for the application of laser energy have not been modified substantially for 3 decades. They have two essential disadvantages: the laser probe has no sufficient fixation and irrigation is ineffective in clearing endoscopic vision from hemorrhage. These defects were corrected in cooperation with the R.

[Photoselective vaporization with the 80-watt KTP-laser (kalium-titanyl-phosphate) and low-hydraulic-pressure TURP in the treatment of BPH: our experience with 230 cases].

Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of the 80 watt KTP-laser method for the vaporization and ablation of the symptomatic BPH. Also the results when combining the KTP-laser with the RTU-P and their repercussion on the haemoglobin are analysed.

Method: 230 patients with symptomatic BPH were treated between August 2004 and July 2006 with the KTP-Laser or combined with RTU-P.

[The low hydraulic pressure transurethral resection of the prostate results in 340 patients with great adenomas].

Introduction: the transurethral resection of prostate TURP is the elective treatment for the small and medium adenomas. In this study they analyse the effectiveness, the results and the postoperative morbidity in the resection of the great adenomas.

Patients And Method: We study 340 patients with great adenomas and symptomatic infravesical obstruction that were operated with the low hydraulic pressure RTUP between August of 1999 and June of 2006.

[Combined treatment of prostatic adenoma with the 80 Watt KTP-laser and low-pressure transurethral resection].

Introduction: The purpose of this prospective study is to determine the effectiveness of method for vaporisation and elimination of the prostate adenoma. The results are analysed that obtain when combining this Laser-method with the resection at low pressure.

Material And Method: 151 patients with BPH symptomatic were treated between August 2004 and january 2006 with the KTP-Laser or combined with low pressure TURP.
