summary

In a group of 50 patients the mass of the prostatic adenoma was measured by means of ultrasonography before the operation and then after the operation the adenoma was weighed. It was found that the mean weighted divergence between the values of this mass determined by ultrasonography or by weighting was 10.42%. In the largest group of the studied adenomas weighting from 41 to 90 grams the real measurement error was not over 4.2%>. The study demonstrated that pre-operative assessment of the size of prostatic adenoma by means of ultrasonography makes possible determination of this size with a greater accuracy than any other traditional method.
