Periprostatic abscess. Unusual complication of transurethral prostatectomy
Urology.
1975 Nov.
Abstract
Many large series analyzing the results and complications of transurethral prostatectomy have failed to mention the occurrence of periprostatic abscess. A case is described which followed perforation of the posterior capsule at the time of transurethral prostatic resection. This complication was successfully managed by transperineal needle aspiration and high-dosage antibiotic therapy.
