- ArticleLund BL, Dingsor E.Scand J Urol Nephrol. 1976;10(1):33-8.The results of 532 transurethral electro-resections (TUR) are compared with 67 open prostatectomies performed over a period of 9 years. The age ranges of the two patient materials were fairly similar. The incidence of associated medical diseases was rather high, 30.8%. The weight limit of the glands selected for TUR was preset at 80 g; the largest resected gland was 120 g. post electro-resection weight. The overall mortality rate for the series was 0.5%; for TUR 0.37% and for open surgery 1.5%. The per- and postoperative complications were fewer in the TUR group than in the open surgery group. The post-operative hospital stay was definitely shorter in the patients subjected to TUR.
