[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.
