summary

A group of 66 patients are presented in whom prostatic adenomectomy was performed ? in 30 cases transurethral electroresection (ERS) was used and 36 cases were treated by simple adenomectomy. The patients were treated in the Urological Department, III Hospital in Chorzów. Serum levels of testosterone were determi­ned before and after removal of prostatic adenoma. The size of adenomas was de­termined by ultrasonography before and after the operation. It was observed that testosterone fall in the serum after the operation depended in a high degree on the size of the removed adenoma.
