Abstract
The overall hospital mortality-rate of 315 patients with benign obstructive prostatic disease and renal failure was 21 per cent. One hundred and ninety-four patients (61ยท6 per cent) were dealt with by prostatic surgery, in the majority of whom a significant improvement in renal function followed a short period of bladder drainage. Only 10 per cent of the patients managed by preliminary suprapubic cystostomy underwent definitive surgery, the greater proportion dying within 15 months of this minor procedure. The importance of fluid and electrolyte imbalance following the acute relief of a chronic lower urinary-tract obstruction is emphasized and the possible use of preoperative dialysis discussed.

Many techniques have been used to relieve obstructive symptoms associated with benign prostatic hypertrophy. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) with an electrocautery loop is the most commonly performed operation to relieve bladder neck and urethral obstruction caused by prostatic adenom
Although the exact etiology of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is not well-defined, it is thought to occur as a result of epithelial-stromal interactions in the appropriate hormonal milieu. Benign prostatic hyperplasia originates in the periurethral and transition zones of the prostate in a micro
