[Transitory postoperative anuria after transvesical prostatic adenomectomy: review of the literature, description of new clinical cases and physiopathological considerations].

Anuria is a rare complication after prostate adenomectomy. Three cases of complete bilateral anuria and one case of monolateral anuria are reported following transvesical prostate adenomectomy, characterized by immediate onset without any apparent cause and by spontaneous resolution within 48 hours. After a thorough review of the literature, the authors analyze the pathophysiological and clinical aspects of post-prostate-adenomectomy anuria and postulate an "obstructive" aetiology for the anuria cases observed in their series.
