Abstract

The series presented consisted of 94 patients who underwent transvesical prostatectomy and whose bladders were drained by using a cystostomy tube (silastic) with an 8 mm lumen, in addition to a urethral catheter. Retention by blood clot was avoided. The wounds healed well, and no infection of the urinary tract occurred. The mean period of postoperative hospitalization was 9.5 days.
