aculatory ductsand vesicles depends considerably on the character, size, and dispositionof the enlargements. If the hypertrophy is great, and especially if aconsiderable median lobe is present, the vesical neck is generallyfound elevated far above the level of the ducts and vesicles, as shownin Fig. 6, which is a longitudinal section of a prostate in which thelateral and median lobes are all three greatly hypertrophied. Theducts enter so low down on the posterior surface of the prostate thatthe median lobe is not in relation to them at all, and is separated fromthe vesicles by the prostatic capsule. It would, therefore, be easy toenucleate this lobe without injuring the ducts at all if properly done.Note here also the great width of the urethra, the proximity of its 14 Hugh H.
