[Transcervical adenomectomy with prior hemostasis (author's transl)].

After giving a brief description of the anatomy of the prostate, with special emphasis on the irrigation of same, the authors discuss 226 cases of adenoma of the prostate operated on transcervically with prior hemostasis, the transfusion consisting of a total of 111 of blood. In 68% of the cases, the urine became clear within 24 h after the operation. The probe was removed within the first 5 days in 70% of the cases. The complications found included: 9 cases of epididymitis (keeping in mind that deferent ducts are never linked), 4 cases of postoperative incontinence (in 3 cases the incontinence was temporary and disappeared within 3 months), and 3 deaths 2 weeks after the operation (1.3%) due to ictus, bronchopneumonia, and pneumonia, respectively.

Extracorporeal renal surgery. Work bench surgery.

In cases in which renal repair through conventional in situ surgery is not possible, we have proceeded to remove the organ outside of the human body and placed in on a work bench where exsitu repair is aided by microsurgery, x-ray films, and image amplifiers. In most cases the damaged kidney has recovered its function and a grave problem has been solved. Extracorporeal surgery means a new tactical solution to extreme situations.
