Abstract
This study was conducted on 83 patients who underwent an uncomplicated transurethral resection of the prostate for carcinoma or benign hyperplasia. In all cases the urethral catheter was removed within 24 h of surgery. Only 2 patients failed to void because of clot retention. The total hospital stay was 3 days in 67 patients. There were no significant complications due to early removal of the catheter.Keywords
