Transurethral resection for papillary tumors and benign prostatic hypertrophy was performed in 26 patients under local anesthesia, sometimes in association with neuroleptanalgesia. 14 superficial bladder tumors were so treated: 9 adenomas and 3 bladder neck obstructions were resected in elderly debilitated patients. No patient required general anesthesia. No complications due to local anesthesia were noted.
