Summary The size of the prostate gland in 15 patients presenting with bladder outlet obstruction due to benign prostatic hypertrophy was determined by digital examination, by analysis of the bladder films of intravenous pyelograms and by ultrasonic scanning of the prostates. It is concluded that ultrasonic scanning is the most accurate method for determining prostate gland size.
