ABSTRACT
A prospective study was conducted in the Department of Surgery, Bahawal Victoria Hospital Bahawalpur, from January 1996 to June 1999 to evaluate the results of transurethral resection for benign prostatic hyperplasia [BPH] in 200 cases. Patients' ages ranged from 45 to 90 years with maximum incidence between 50 to 65 years. One hundred and forty patients [70 percent] presented with urinary retention and 30 patients [15 percent] presented with irritative symptoms. Post operative complications were, haematuria in 10, transient incontinence in 10 and clot retention in 5 patients. Mean hospital stay was 6.48 days, with overall mortality at 0.5 percent. Transurethral resection is an excellent, safe and cost effective procedure for BPH
