N2  - In a symposium on prostatectomy such as this, it is not our intention to defend the transurethral operation against any one of the other three methods, but rather to try to evaluate it as a surgical procedure and therapeutic agent in our hands, in contrast to enucleation by any one of the other methods. At St. Luke's Hospital, it has been our dictum that the method of approach rested with the surgeon and that he should be guided by his experience, so that when he operated he felt that he could offer the patient the best chance of cure. The suprapubic approach in our hands prior to 1932 left little to be desired, but the advent of transurethral resection offered a challenge.The first transurethral resection was done in our hospital in June 1932.
