[Histomorphometric findings in the residual prostate and prostatic hollow after retropubic surgery for BPH: (I) baseline data obtained from the last 70 consecutive cases].

Objectives: To present the data obtained from surgical specimens and biopsies of residual prostate and prostatic capsule, which in addition to the information provided by imaging tests give us the baseline situation of the prostatic surgical bed and residual prostate after transcervical hemostatic adenomectomy with capsule plasty. All this is the first step for the long-term study of its evolution and possible implications in the genesis of new obstructive or neoplastic pathology.

Methods: 70 consecutive cases of transcervical hemostatic adenomectomy with the variation of capsule plasty, recently developed, after a previous experience of 1033 retropubic surgeries.
