ABSTRACT
Patients with signs of benign prostatic hyperplasia undergo excretory urography as a part of the diagnostic measures. The investigation is expected to yield information on the upper urinary tract and pathology of the bladder. But the necessity of excretory urography as a routine study before prostatectomy has been questioned. Herein we analyzed 154 patients who underwent excretory urography before prostatectomy at department of Urology, Masan Koryo General Hospital from January 1990 to December 1992. Of 154 patients, 117(76.0% ) showed normal upper tract with cystogram compatible with benign prostatic hyperplasia, 19(12.3% ) dilated upper tract. 1 (0.6% ) nonvisualized kidney, 9(5. 8%) incidental upper tract anomalies, 12(7.8% ) urolithiasis. Most of these anomalies could not alter the planned therapeutical procedures. We concluded that excretory urography is not always necessary in diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia, but only in selected cases.
