Transurethral resection of prostate was done on 11 prostates weighing over 100g among 1664 cases seen during the last 9 years. The largest prostate weighed 180g and needed 140 minutes for resection. From 400 ml up to 1,600 ml, mean 890 ml of blood were transfused in these patients. No severe complication or death occurred. In conclusion, a prostate weighing less than 200 g can be operated by transurethral resection.
