Case histories

Abstract

Two groups of patients have been chosen from our operating case histories (April '89 - December '91). They were subjected respectively to major and minor surgery. In the first group radical surgery of the kidney and of the bladder was considered while in the second group we examined the surgical and endoscopic treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy. The selected patients were subsequently subdivided according to age (under and above 75 years old) and according to the kind of operation.
