Özet

Background and Objective: Postoperative irritative symptoms and lack of tissue samples for histologic examination are the two main disadvantages of transurethral electrovaporization of the prostate. To decrease the postoperative irritative symptoms while minimizing intraoperative and postoperative bleeding and also to obtain tissue samples, we have combined the techniques of transurethral resection and vaporization, a procedure we have termed Vapor-cut, by using the Wolf Wing gold-plated electrode.
