Abstract
A repeat, or second-look, transurethral prostate resection (TURP) involves obtaining more tissue for pathologic evaluation in patients initially found to have a small amount of cancer (stage Al) after a prostatectomy performed for obstructive symptoms on a presumably benign gland. The information obtained can then be used to decide which patients are candidates for immediate therapy, and which can be observed with little expectation of developing progressive disease in their lifetime. This paper explores what facts are known, and what facts are unknown in determining whether a second look resection is justified.
