Abstract

With the development of many instruments and therapeutic methods;attempts to treat urologic problems transurethrally using endoscopy are gradually increasing. We studied 762 cases of patients who underwent transurethral surgery during the period of 5 years recently. Disease entities included in this study were benign prostatic hyperplasia; prostatic cancer; bladder tumor; bladder stone; urethral stricuture; urethral stone; urethral valve and ureteral stone etc. Owing to long standing and persevering experiences; good results were achieved such as higher success rate; lower morbidity; shortened hospital stay; lower complication and lower cost than open surgery. In the future;the transurethral techniques will be used as an ideal primary procedure for the diagnosis and treatment of most of urologic diseases.
