Abstract
The fear of vascular overload by irrigant during transurethral resecti on of the prostate is a reason for an incomplete resection. With conti nuous measurement of the patient's body weight and, thus, body water, irrigant entrance is immediately identified. We present a scale of pro ved accuracy and reliability, allowing more effective resection while eliminating the possibility of TUR syndrome.
