Prostate anatomy has been the subject of controversy for 200 years. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, lobar anatomy was accepted. Beginning in 1968 and for the next 25 years, John E. McNeal presented his view of prostate anatomy in terms of 4 anatomic zones. The transition zone was introduced in 1978 as the site of development of benign prostatic hyperplasia. This review was undertaken to describe the evolution of McNeal's anatomic concepts.
前列腺解剖学已经争论了 200 年。在 19 世纪和 20 世纪初,人们接受了叶状解剖学。从 1968 年开始,在接下来的 25 年里,John E. McNeal 提出了他对前列腺解剖学的观点,认为前列腺有 4 个解剖区。1978 年,移行区被引入,作为良性前列腺增生的发展部位。本综述旨在描述 McNeal 的解剖学概念的演变。
