Abstract
Standard transurethral prostatic resections were done on 18 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Local anesthesia was used with standard 1% lidocaine local infiltration of the prostate and topical instillation into the urethra. This anesthesia was supplemented in a few instances by modest doses of i.v. tranquilizers, which was a safe, simple and effective procedure.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
