Of the entire series 27 per cent revealed urographic abnormalities and 72 significant lesions of the upper urinary tract were noted. An operation other than prostatectomy was necessary in 14 cases. Abnormalities involving the bladder were detected in 29 cases. We conclude that excretory urography remains a sound principle of proper urologic care. © 1980 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited byReisman E, Kennedy T, Roehrborn C and Mcconnell J (2018) A Prospective Study of Urologist-Performed Sonographic Evaluation of the Urinary Tract in Patients with ProstatismJournal of Urology, VOL. 145, NO. 6, (1186-1189), Online publication date: 1-Jun-1991.Sage W, Kessler R, Sommers L and Silverman J (2018) Physician-Generated Cost Containment in Transurethral ProstatectomyJournal of Urology, VOL. 140, NO. 2, (311-315), Online publication date: 1-Aug-1988.Cascione C, Bartone F and Hussain M (2018) Transabdominal Ultrasound Versus Excretory Urography in Preoperative Evaluation of Patients with ProstatismJournal of Urology, VOL. 137, NO. 5, (883-885), Online publication date: 1-May-1987.Jenkins A and Mintz P (2018) Optimal Blood Use in Genitourinary SurgeryJournal of Urology, VOL. 126, NO. 4, (497-499), Online publication date: 1-Oct-1981.
