The peroperative and postoperative blood loss was determined in 36 patients undergoing transurethral prostatectomy (TUR-P) using a photometric method. Seventeen patients were randomly allocated to epidural and 19 patients to general anaesthesia. No significant differences were found between the two groups in the total blood loss peroperatively, the corrected blood loss peroperatively (ml/g/min) or the blood loss postoperatively. The systolic blood pressures were equal in the two groups and no correlation between blood loss and blood pressure was demonstrated. The blood loss per g resected tissue was fairly constant and independent of prostatic weight, but bleeding per minute operating time increased significantly with prostatic size. As the total peroperative blood loss increases with operating time, rapid surgery is a possibility of reducing blood loss in TUR-P. Visual estimation of blood loss during TUR-P of larger glands was unreliable with underestimates of about 100 per cent in one third of the patients, when bleeding exceeded 400 ml. Therefore we recommend an accurate determination of blood loss during resection of larger glands.
