Abstract Among 65 patients who underwent simple suprapubic prostatectomy, three consecutive quantitative estimations of clean voided midstream urine were carried out, i.e. before operation, on discharge from hostpital and six months or later after operations (late review), respectively, and some factors that will affect persistent significant bacteriuria were discussed. The results thus obtained were as follows. 1. Incidence of persistent significant bacteriuria at late review was 30.8% in patients with significant bacteriuria preoperatively and this figure was higher than 17.7% in patients without significant bacteriuria preoperatively. 2. Duration of postoperative indwelling urethral catheterization plays a less significant role than the presence of preoperative bacteriuria in the persistent significant bacteriuria on discharge and at late review. 3. Size of the enucleated prostate also showed no significant relationship to the persistent significant bacteriuria at late review.
