Transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) or prostatotomy is a recently developed surgical technique whose favourable results have been reported elsewhere to range from 88% to 92%. It has a precise indication in small prostates and short urethras, and in well-selected cases its results are superior to that achieved by transurethral resection (TUR). Moreover, alterations of sexual function (impotence, retrograde ejaculation, etc.) are less and it affords the following advantages: the surgical technique is easy to perform, postoperative hospital stay is minimal, and patient comfort is enhanced. We have reviewed the first 100 prostatotomy procedures performed at the Urology Department of our hospital. Patient follow-up was 1 1/2 years. Good results were achieved in 65 (95.5%) of 68 patients with prostates less than 20 gms. In 20 patients with prostates between 20-30 gms., we achieved a success rate of 85% (3 poor results). The results were poor in 4 of 12 patients (60% success) with prostates more than 30 gms. The early complications were minimal and no late complications were observed. Thus, we believe this is a valid technique when performed in the appropriate cases.
