[Hydraulic haemostasis in transurethral resection of the prostate (author's transl)]. / L'hémostase hydraulique dans la résection transurétrale de la prostate

The method described for T.U.R. of the prostate merits the name of hydraulic haemostasis. Its principle consists of placing the irrigation recipient at a height of 90 cm, using it in combination with the Iglesias continuous irrigation-suction resector with a low intravesical pressure. Per- and postoperative bleeding is minimised and the "T.U.R.", syndrome is absent, despite reports in the world literature. Two modifications to the Iglesias resector are presented: the optic protector and a new system of suction orifices.
