[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. Extraurethral method enables you to perform a prostatectomy at any size of adenomatous tissue (fragmentarily) with preservation of the prostatic urethra, urethral vascular plexus and, if necessary, to carry out the vesico-urethral segment correction without blood loss. Free independent urination is recovered at days 10-12 after the healing of the suprapubic surgical wound and removal of drainage tube. Since the introduction of transvesical extraurethral prostatectomy into clinical practice, more than 3,000 radical adenomectomies at different stages in patients with co-morbidities were performed only at Burdenko Central Military Clinical Hospital and the 2nd Mandryka CMCH.
