[Results of repeated adenomectomies in high-risk patients].

It is reported on 76 patients who were operated on due to an adenoma of the prostate and simultaneous cystolithiasis. The bilateral adenomectomy of the prostate is justified in geriatric patients who are endangered by a secondary failure of other organ systems. The mortality of this selected number of patients is high in simultaneous adenomectomy with lithotomy despite progress in operation technique, anaesthesiology and treatment with antibiotics. On the other hand, all bilaterally operated patients survived so that we recommend this procedure in all risk patients.
