Evaluation of uroflowmetry in different groups of patients after transurethral resection of prostatic adenoma.

One hundred patients after transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) were examined. The patients' age, presence or absence of urinary tract infection, time after TURP, and the size of adenoma were taken into consideration in the assessment of uroflowmetry. It was found that with the passage of time all parameters have improved. Comparison of the results of uroflowmetry performed in patients with large or small adenomas showed that TURP was successful in both groups. Infection was found to affect the volume of the bladder, but it had no significant influence on other uroflowmetry parameters or on residual urine. The age of the operated patients seemed to have no influence on the results of flowmetry after TURP.
