Abstract

The paper discusses the results of 24 cases of Millin's prostatectomy in a District Hospital carried out between April and December 1983. The results show that the blood loss in the operation is usually not more than 600ml and therefore would not pose a strain on the blood bank. Postoperative bleeding is very minimal and again does not tax the nursing staff of an overcrowded, large ward in the District Hospital. The results for the patients are excellent.
