    AbstractTransurethral prostatotomy (TUT) in 24 patients was compared with transurethral prostatectomy (TUR) in 25 patients in a prospective randomised trial. All patients were aged 60 years or more and presented with symptomatic benign hypertrophy. One half of the patients had acute retention. Shorter operative time and less post-operative bleeding were found in the TUT group, which included 3 failures. No difference was found in post-operative duration of catheterisation or duration of hospitalisation. No significant differences were seen after 1 year's follow-up in the number of patients with positive urinary culture or urinary flow rate. One patient in the TUT group had a recurrence of symptoms, thus giving a total of 4 failures and a success rate of 82%. One patient became incontinent after TUR and 4 developed a stricture. The success rate after TUR was 78%. It was concluded that TUT and TUR produce similar functional results in cases where the gland is not too large.
