Transurethral biopsy of the prostate was another approach that had been described but unlike the previous method described it required a general anaesthetic and a period of hospitalization. Denton et al. held that an extensive transurethral prostatectomy would nearly always confirm the diagnosis (Denton et al., 1967) and Grabstald commented that this transurethral biopsy might be useful in advanced tumours (Grabstald, 1965b). However it was well known that prostate cancer was more frequently seen posteriorly and near the capsule and thus was not easily reached with the resecting loop since only the tissue within the prostatic urethra was sampled (Peirson and Nickerson, 1943; Kaufman et al., 1954) | KERATOPLASTIES -SURGICAL TECHNIQUES AND COMPLICATIONS Edited by Luigi Mosca Keratoplasties - Surgical Techniques and Complications Edited by Luigi Mosca Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2011 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which allows users to download copy and build upon published articles even for commercial purposes as long as the author and publisher are properly credited which ensures maximum dissemination and a wider impact of our publications.
