Transurethral resection of the prostate and bladder neck incision are accepted methods in the treatment of obstructive prostatic hyperplasia. Bladder neck incision is particularly useful in cases of small prostates. We have modified the method of bladder neck incision to bladder neck resection. A randomized prospective trial was done to compare the results of conventional transurethral resection of the prostate (30 patients) and the new method of bladder neck resection. Bladder neck resection was comparable to transurethral resection of the prostate with respect to postoperative hospital stay, maximal flow rates and postoperative complications. Bladder neck resection was better than transurethral resection with respect to the operating time, transfusion requirement, volume of irrigation fluid and postoperative urinary infection. We conclude that bladder neck resection is the operation of choice in patients with a prostate of 30 gm. or less.
