Three hundred and forty-one patients with mild benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) underwent transurethral incision of prostate (TUIP) for their obstructive symptoms within the previous 8 years. Poor results were experienced in 15 of 99 patients (15.2%) after TUIP and 7 of 99 patients (7.0%) received subsequent transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) for the relapsing urinary symptoms. There was no cancer of prostate found by pathology in any of our patients who underwent subsequent TURP after TUIP. The mean weight of resected prostate is 12.3g. The mean interval between TUIP and subsequent TURP is 33.0 months. Usually subsequent TURP was not necessary within 6 months post TUIP. The incidence of dry ejaculation after TUIP was 29.7% (19/64) and the incidence of sexual dysfunction was 23.9% (11/46).
