Objective: 30 patients were included over a 5-year period in a protocol divided into two uniform cohorts (age, surgical risk, prostatic volume, etc.). Both groups are compared based on morphological effectiveness, functionality, quality of life parameters, etc. Also a comparison on the efficacy of anterior commissurotomy vs. conventional TUR is carried out.
Method: After 12 hours, a cohort of 15 patients had a Collins' loop section of the vesical neck anterior aspect, a technique described by Keitzer (1969).
Results: Results were optimal and superior to those obtained with TUR. We conclude this technique is effective, and emphasize the validity of the concepts described by Gil Vernet in 1956.
