Summary— Two hundred transurethral resections of the prostate (TURPs) were performed using a controlled continuous flow (CCF) resectoscope attached to a video camera by direct‐beam coupler. Standing comfortably, the surgeon used a video monitor as the source of judgment for manipulating the loop. Data obtained were statistically similar to those obtained from 400 previous resections using the same resectoscope by the conventional viewing method. TURP can be performed safely, more efficiently and more comfortably with the CCF video technique.
