Abstract
Gross misconceptions are prevalent regarding symptoms and the results of urologic investigation and surgical treatment of prostatic hyperplasia.
All patients with prostatism do not have significant urinary symptoms. The importance of the absence or the presence of residual urine also has been misinterpreted. The impression that future prostatic hyperplasia or carcinoma is precluded by prostatectomy but possibly will occur following transurethral resection is erroneous.
The physician also must realize that pyuria may exist for several months after prostatectomy has been performed.
