[Trigono-cervico-prostatic incision].

Trigone-cervico-prostatic incision is a surgical alternative in the treatment of urinary obstruction induced by small size prostate. Twenty-three patients were treated in our unit with this procedure, 17 because they were carriers of small size prostate and 6 because they were high risk surgical patients in which the simplicity and swiftness of this technique were essential. Good results have been obtained both clinical and in urological flow in 95.7% cases. The only complication was one stenosis of the urethra requiring internal urethrotomy but there were no cases of vesical cervix contracture or urinary incontinence. Average follow-up was 12.5 months. It is concluded that this is a valid, low morbidity alternative that can be offered to patients with small sized and symptomatic prostate.
