The so-called cryoprostatectomy was performed on 111 high-risk patients from November 1970 to December 1975 (60-month period). 86 patients (78.5%) had an adenoma and 25 patients (21.5%) a carcinoma of the prostate. During this period of time 1,085 more patients with adenoma or carcinoma were treated by open prostatectomy or TUR. Experience has shown that cryoprostatectomy should be performed only on high-risk patients whose physical condition excludes operation and the only alternative would be continuous urethral catheter drainage. Any further indication must be rejected.
1970年11月至1975年12月（60个月期间），对111例高危患者实施了所谓的冷冻前列腺切除术。86例患者（78.5%）患有腺瘤，25例患者（21.5%）患有前列腺癌。在此期间，另有1085例患有腺瘤或癌的患者接受了开放性前列腺切除术或经尿道前列腺切除术。经验表明，冷冻前列腺切除术仅应在身体状况不适合手术且唯一替代方案是持续尿道导管引流的高危患者中进行。任何其他适应症都必须排除。
