    AbstractThe treatment of patients presenting with severe symptoms of obstruction due to benign prostatic hyperplasia and a history of previous surgery for long urethral stricture is still a matter of discussion. We report on 3 patients in whom resection of the prostate was performed using a dilated cystostomy approach under spinal anesthesia. All men had undergone dorsal onlay urethroplasty for long urethral stricture before prostate resection. The good outcome demonstrated the feasibility and safety of prostate resection using a suprapubic approach, which may become a treatment option in this group of patients.
