The effect of prostatectomy on the symptoms and signs of benign prostatic hypertrophy.

Abstract: Summary Subjective and objective measurements were made in 7 patients before and after open prostatectomy and the results were compared to the effects of placebo given to the same patients. The effect of prostatectomy was to decrease symptoms, frequency and nocturia. Resting bladder pressure was unchanged, but pressures measured during micturition were lower. The maximal urinary flow rate and volume voided were much improved after operation. When the effects of operation were compared with the effects of placebo, the results of surgery were very much better.
