[A variant of transvesical extraurethral adenomectomy].

To facilitate extraurethral adenomectomy, we used a semicylindric scalpel and metallic tube (tubus) to make a semioval cut parallel to proximal prostatic portion of the urethra along the posterior semicircle of the bladder neck in 260 patients with prostatic adenoma (PA). The urethra was isolated from the adenomatous tissues. The vesicular cut was prolonged left and right to the level of ureteral ostia.
