Abstract

Purpose : In this study we tried to determine the efficacy of transurethral prostate incision (TUIP) in patients with

Materials and Methods : TUIP was applied to 31 patients.

Results : The mean age of patients was 56.5 and the mean prostatic volume was 41 gr . The preoperative mean

maximum urine flow rate was 10.3 ml/sec and the mean residual volume was 60 cc. The maximum urine flow rate

increased up to 13.9 ml/sec and 22 cc. residual volume decresed to after the operation. The results were statistically

significant (p
