Transurethral prostatic resection in the treatment of prostatism with high urinary flow.

There were 51 patients with prostatism who were selected for transurethral resection of the prostate using clinical nonurodynamic criteria. Urodynamic evaluation revealed that 13 patients had preoperative maximum urine flow rates greater than 15 ml. per second. The favorable postoperative outcome in clinical and urodynamic terms in this group of patients with high preoperative urine flow is discussed.
