Results
Conclusion Despite their inaccuracies, the DRE grading and endoscopic grading continue to be widely used in clinical practice. As prostate volume estimation is an important aspect of preoperative workup and the a vailability of TRUS is of the question at peripheral centers, these gradings can be useful alternatives for urologists in the management of prostatomegaly.
