summary

On the ground of comparative irwestigations in 2 groups of patients with pro­static adenoma it was tried to establish the effect of indwelling catheter on the postoperative course comparing this course in these patients with that in pa­tients Without catheter. It was found that in patients with indwelling catheter urinary tract infection is much more fre±uent, this infection increases the num-ber of days with raised body temperaturę and postoperative treatment duration. Patients with long-standing urinary tract infection re±uire much longer anti­bacterial treatment for achieving sterility of the urinary tract. For these reasons patients with prostatic adenoma in whom indwelling catheter is indispensable should be operated upon within several days after catheter introduction.
