[Incision of the prostate. Apropos of 57 cases].

57 cervico-prostatic incisions have been performed, for prostatic hypertrophy in 56 cases and for dysuria without prostatic hypertrophy in one case. 36 patients underwent a mono-incision and 21 had a bi-incision. The operative technique is simple and the results are satisfactory. After 3 months, the dysuria was improved in 93.5% of cases and the pollakiuria was improved in 92.8% of cases. In 20 patients in whom the quality of ejaculation was defined prior to the operation, this persisted after the operation in 17 cases (85%); it was normal in 8 cases and diminished in 9 cases.
