Abstract

A total of 120 men with benign prostatic hypertrophy were assigned randomly into three groups. Transurethral prostatic resections were performed in all patients. In Group I the operation was performed with continuous flow bladder irrigation, in Group II with suprapubic flow irrigation (without suction pump) and in Group III without continuous flow irrigation. Blood loss was determined by a colorimetric method. There were no statistically significant changes in blood loss between the groups of patients.
