Abstrakt:	Summary Objectives: To present 4 cases with "undetectable" PSA levels (PSA <0.15 ng/ml) long-term postoperative follow-up after retropubic adenomectomy for BPH METHODS: They come from a series of 70 consecutive cases of retropubic prostatic adenomectomies, monitored and controlled at the hospital in their biochemical, histological and morphometric analysis for 5 years following the intervention. Results: Four patients have demonstrated PSA levels <0.15 in all controls after surgery. Mean follow-up of the global series: 45.25 months. There is correlation between this determination and histological and morphometric data, when they were achieved. Conclusions: "Undetectable" PSA after open prostatic adenomectomy could be an equivalent to the expression of "radical cure"of BPH, and a reliable marker for monitoring neo-hyperplasia.
