ABSTRACT
The relationship of post-operatively determined prostatic gland weight and that calculated prior the procedure, by means of abdominal ultrasound techniques using the "ellipsoid method", has been studied in 88 patients undergoing retropubic adenectomy. The regression line was nearly optimal, Y = 0.946 X + 2.295, and the correlation coefficient between both weight measures was r = 0.915. Abdominal ultrasound examinations are a simple, quick and safe means to evaluate prostate weight, prior to deciding the type of surgery (open adenectomy or transurethral resection) for prostate adenoma.
